Summary

Charles, Missouri, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of recreation. Completed in 1978, this Earth dam stands at a height of 48 feet and spans 950 feet in length. The dam has a storage capacity of 2,400 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 684 acre-feet and a surface area of 140 acres. It is situated on Indian Camp Creek and is regulated by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri.

The dam's hazard potential is classified as high, but its condition assessment is satisfactory as of the last inspection in April 2018. The emergency action plan (EAP) status is not specified, and the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 85 feet. The maximum discharge capacity is 26,242 cubic feet per second, making it crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and regulatory compliance closely.

Overall, Incline Village Lake Dam serves as a recreational resource while also posing potential risks due to its high hazard potential. With its location on Indian Camp Creek and its significant storage capacity, it is important for stakeholders to prioritize regular inspections, emergency preparedness, and risk management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water resource infrastructure in Missouri.

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.
