Summary

Completed in 1974, this earth dam primarily serves the purpose of recreation, offering a serene and picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts. With a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, the dam provides ample opportunities for water-based activities and wildlife habitat.

Despite its recreational appeal, Hauck Lake Dam holds a high hazard potential, warranting attention to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's spillway, with a width of 20 feet, is uncontrolled, presenting a potential risk during periods of high discharge. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, ongoing inspections and maintenance are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation and longevity.

With its moderate risk assessment and location under the St. Louis District, Hauck Lake Dam remains an important landmark in the region, overseen by private ownership. While not regulated at the state level, the dam's significance in providing recreational opportunities underscores the need for continued monitoring and management to safeguard both the environment and the community's enjoyment of this valuable water resource.

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.
