Summary
This private dam, standing at a height of 25 feet, plays a crucial role in managing a drainage area of 55 square miles and storing up to 40 acre-feet of water. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for further assessment and monitoring.
Owned privately, Goodrich Lake Dam stands as a significant asset for the community of Trenton, Missouri. With a primary purpose of debris control, this earth dam with a buttress core type provides essential flood protection and water management services. While the dam's construction year remains unknown, its strategic location and design contribute to the efficient regulation of water flow and storage capacity, ensuring the safety and well-being of the surrounding area.
In light of the dam's high hazard potential, it is crucial for authorities to conduct regular inspections and assessments to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With the potential to cause significant damage in the event of a breach, Goodrich Lake Dam underscores the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness measures. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed and engaged in the maintenance and regulation of such critical infrastructure is essential for safeguarding communities and the environment in the face of changing weather patterns and increasing water-related risks.

Dam Data Reference
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.
