Summary

The earth dam, standing at a height of 25 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 70 acres. While the dam has a low hazard potential, its condition has not been officially rated, and it has not undergone inspection or maintenance in recent years.

Situated on TR-Sweet Spring Creek, the White Oak Camp Lake Dam is overseen by the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated or permitted by the state of Missouri, and there are no current emergency action plans or risk assessments in place. With a surface area of 3 acres and a normal storage capacity of 25 acre-feet, the dam provides a vital water resource for the surrounding area.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in the White Oak Camp Lake Dam for its unique design as an earth dam with buttress core types. The dam, while not currently rated for condition, represents an important component of the local watershed, offering storage for irrigation, recreation, and environmental conservation. As a privately owned structure with limited state oversight, the dam's future maintenance and regulatory status may be of particular interest to those concerned with water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

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.
