102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36 dam
102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36
Located in Nodaway, Missouri, the 102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36 is a flood risk reduction structure built in 1975 along the TR-102 River. This earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet, providing a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 6 acres. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this structure also serves multiple other purposes including debris control, fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and recreation.
Managed by the local government, this dam has a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its critical role in flood risk reduction in the area, the 102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36 has not been inspected recently and lacks an emergency action plan. The structure does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, highlighting the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks and serving the community.
As an enthusiast passionate about water resources and climate, the 102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36 presents an intriguing case study in the management of flood risk in rural areas. Its location along the TR-102 River and its primary purpose of flood risk reduction underscore the vital role that such structures play in safeguarding communities from potential disasters. Despite its age and lack of recent inspections, this dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for proactive maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and resilience of water infrastructure in the face of changing climatic conditions.
Dam data reference
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 102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36
Where does the data for 102 Riv Trib Wtrshd Strctr Lt-36 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 High 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.
