Summary
This privately-owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 69 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Situated on TR Perch Creek in Boone County, Missouri, Llorens Lake Dam is overseen by the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not currently rated for condition assessment, the dam provides essential water storage and flood control benefits to the surrounding community. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the role that structures like Llorens Lake Dam play in ensuring the sustainable management of our water resources for future generations.
While Llorens Lake Dam may not be regulated by the state or subject to regular inspections, its presence is vital for maintaining the ecological balance of the region. As we continue to face challenges posed by climate change and increasing water scarcity, it is essential to appreciate the importance of dams like Llorens Lake in preserving our water supply and protecting against potential risks. By understanding and supporting these critical infrastructure projects, we can work towards a more sustainable and resilient water future for all.

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.
