Summary

The dam, with a height of 37 feet and a hydraulic height of 32.2 feet, serves as a scenic site along Camp Creek, offering a surface area of 10.7 acres for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. With a normal storage capacity of 115 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 154 cubic feet per second, the dam provides both leisure and environmental benefits to the surrounding Lincoln County community.

Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, Stone Lake Dam is under state regulation and inspection, ensuring its structural integrity and safety for visitors and nearby residents. The dam's condition assessment in 2007 rated it as satisfactory with a low hazard potential, indicating a stable and secure infrastructure. Despite being modified over the years, the dam continues to maintain its risk level at a moderate (3) assessment, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management measures to ensure the long-term viability of the dam and its associated recreational opportunities.

In the heart of Kansas City District, Stone Lake Dam stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of water resource management and recreational enjoyment. With its earth core and stone foundation, the dam not only enhances the natural beauty of Camp Creek but also provides a safe and inviting space for outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate and protect the delicate balance between water resources and climate preservation.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
