Summary
This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. With a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 21 square miles, the dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Blakemore Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a state inspection, enforcement, or permitting system in place. While it may not be a high-risk structure, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess the condition of the dam to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
With no designated emergency action plan or risk assessment in place, there is a need for proactive measures to be taken to address any potential risks associated with Blakemore Lake Dam. As it serves various purposes and is part of the water supply infrastructure in Boone County, Missouri, it is imperative to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this important structure to safeguard water resources and mitigate any potential threats to the surrounding environment.

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.
