Summary
With a dam height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 482 acre-feet, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water levels in the area. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been officially rated, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and assessment.
Situated on the TR-East Fork Chariton River, Kohl Lake Dam is part of the Kansas City District and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri. While it is not regulated by the state, the dam has not undergone recent inspections or been subject to enforcement actions. With a surface area of 45 acres and a drainage area of 202 square miles, this dam contributes to the overall water management system in the region. The structure's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its versatility in supporting various water-related activities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the diverse landscapes of Randolph County, Missouri, Kohl Lake Dam stands as a vital component of the local infrastructure. While its condition assessment remains unrated and it lacks certain regulatory oversight, the dam's role in water storage and management cannot be understated. With a focus on safety and maintenance, the ongoing monitoring of Kohl Lake Dam ensures the continued protection of water resources in the area.

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.
