Summary
Built in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and provides a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 8 acres and drains an area of 200 acres, making it a vital resource for water management in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Haynes Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's primary owner is listed as private, and it is not regulated or monitored by any state agencies. The dam is located along TR-Clear Creek and is a part of the Rock Island District, with Congressman Sam Graves representing the area. Although details of the inspection frequency and last inspection date are not available, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
With its strategic location in Bedford, Missouri, Haynes Lake Dam not only provides essential water management functions but also contributes to the local ecosystem. Its design as an earth dam with a buttress core type showcases the engineering expertise involved in its construction. While lacking certain information on its current condition and risk assessment, the dam stands as a testament to the importance of efficient water resource management in mitigating climate impacts and ensuring water security for the community.

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.
