Summary

Built in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet. With a hazard potential rated as low and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Camp Lake Dam has not been inspected recently but remains a vital structure for the community.

Situated on the TR-COY BR COON CREEK, Camp Lake Dam is owned privately and is not regulated by the state. The dam's primary purpose is to provide essential services such as fire protection and recreational opportunities for the area. With a maximum storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres, Camp Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in Randolph County, Missouri.

Despite not being under state jurisdiction, Camp Lake Dam continues to fulfill its role in providing water resources for the community. With a peaceful and scenic location, this dam offers a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts and climate advocates to enjoy nature while appreciating the importance of sustainable water management practices.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
