Summary

This privately-owned dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 420 feet. It has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, making it a relatively safe structure in the area.

The dam, built primarily with earth and stone materials on a soil foundation, impounds waters from TR-SHOAL CREEK and has a storage capacity of 42 acre-feet. With a maximum discharge of 148 cubic feet per second, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 16 feet. Despite not being state regulated or inspected, Maberry Lake Dam continues to provide valuable benefits to the local ecosystem and community, showcasing the importance of private initiatives in managing water resources for conservation and recreational purposes.

In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently not rated or updated. However, with its picturesque location and contribution to the surrounding environment, Maberry Lake Dam remains a significant landmark in Carroll County, Missouri, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of human engineering and natural beauty in sustainable infrastructure projects.

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.
