Summary
Golf Course Dam, located in Boone, Missouri, was completed in 1950 and serves primarily for recreational purposes. The dam, classified as an Earth dam with Buttress core type, stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Harmony Creek and is owned by the local government of Columbia.
Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," with a high hazard potential. However, the last inspection date recorded was in 1978, indicating a lack of recent evaluation. With a drainage area of 46 square miles and a surface area of 7 acres, the dam poses a significant risk due to its outdated assessment and lack of maintenance records.
Given the high hazard potential and lack of recent inspections, water resource and climate enthusiasts should advocate for a comprehensive assessment and potential updates to the Columbia Mum. Golf Course Dam to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Monitoring and maintenance protocols should be implemented to mitigate risks and protect the surrounding area from potential inundation events.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
