Completed in 1977, this private Earth dam boasts a height of 25 feet and a length of 500 feet, with a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam offers an idyllic spot for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the great outdoors.
Despite its high hazard potential, Stanek Lake Dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. With a moderate risk level of 3, the dam has not been inspected recently and lacks an emergency action plan. However, its uncontrolled spillway and rock-core foundation contribute to its structural integrity, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area in the event of a high discharge.
The dam's presence in the Kansas City District, under the ownership of a private entity, highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring this critical water resource. With the potential for recreation and environmental impact, Stanek Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human enjoyment and natural conservation in our changing climate.
