Summary
This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet, making it an important resource for recreation and water management in the area. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures.
The dam, nestled in Randolph County, Missouri, is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With a primary purpose of debris control, the Quinn&Fitzgerald Lake Dam plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the surrounding ecosystem and water resources. While the dam has not been rated for its current condition, its emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently not available, signaling a need for increased monitoring and preparedness in the face of potential hazards or emergencies.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find the Quinn&Fitzgerald Lake Dam an intriguing structure, given its unique design and critical role in both debris control and recreation. As a privately owned earth dam with a high hazard potential, there is a pressing need for regular inspections, condition assessments, and updated emergency action plans to ensure the safety and functionality of this important water resource infrastructure. Its location along the TR-Chariton River adds to its significance, making it a focal point for conservation efforts and sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
