Summary
This private earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Little Loutre Creek and covers a surface area of 3 acres, with a drainage area of 12 square miles.
Although the dam is deemed to have a low hazard potential, its condition is currently not rated due to a lack of recent assessments. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Nutter Lake Dam East plays a crucial role in providing water resources for irrigation and recreational activities in the area. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this structure intriguing for its design as an earth dam with buttress core type, showcasing engineering techniques used in water management.
The dam's location in Mineola, Missouri, surrounded by picturesque natural landscapes, further adds to its appeal for enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience. With its modest size and limited associative structures, Nutter Lake Dam East stands as a testament to the importance of small-scale water infrastructure in supporting local communities and ecosystems.

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.
