Summary
Standing at a height of 30 feet and having a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet, the dam serves as a valuable resource for the community. The dam is situated on the TR Peruque Creek, within the Kansas City District, and is not regulated by the state or federal agencies.
Despite its low hazard potential, Weir Lake Dam plays a crucial role in providing water for fire protection and supporting local wildlife. With a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres, the dam contributes to the overall water management in the area. Although it is currently not rated for its condition assessment, the dam remains an important structure for the community and its surrounding environment.
As an integral part of the local water resource infrastructure, Weir Lake Dam serves as a key element in ensuring water availability for various purposes. Its construction and design reflect a commitment to both practical and environmental considerations, making it a significant asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts 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.
