C+S Lake Dam dam
C+S Lake Dam
C+S Lake Dam, located in Saline County, Missouri, serves multiple purposes including fish and wildlife pond, grade stabilization, and recreation. The dam, completed in 1977, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 25 feet and a length of 500 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 83 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 16 acres, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
The dam is situated on TR-Buck Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition has not been rated, and there have been no recent inspections or emergency action plans prepared. With its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife in the area, C+S Lake Dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance and providing recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors alike.
While the dam does not have any associated structures or federal agency involvement, its strategic location in Glasgow and its proximity to Emanuel Cleaver's congressional district highlight the importance of monitoring and maintaining this essential infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of C+S Lake Dam in the overall ecosystem underscores the need for continued attention and investment in its upkeep for future generations to benefit from its functions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About C+S Lake Dam
Where does the data for C+S Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
