Resnik Lake Dam dam
Resnik Lake Dam
Resnik Lake Dam, located in Naylor, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1970 for the primary purposes of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-DOLLY BRANCH stream and providing water for various uses in the area. Despite not being regulated by the state, Resnik Lake Dam has a high hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is limited information available on emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). With its hazard potential and the lack of a recent inspection date, there is a need for increased focus on risk assessment, management, and emergency response protocols to safeguard surrounding communities and ecosystems in the event of a dam failure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Resnik Lake Dam can advocate for improved monitoring and maintenance practices to mitigate potential risks and protect the valuable water resources supported by this structure.
As part of the Memphis District, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) does not have ownership or involvement in the management of Resnik Lake Dam. However, given its critical role in water storage and management, there is an opportunity for collaboration between private owners, local authorities, and state agencies to enhance dam safety and emergency response capabilities. By raising awareness about the importance of sustainable water resource management and the potential risks associated with high-hazard dams like Resnik Lake, enthusiasts can contribute to the resilience and longevity of this vital infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Resnik Lake Dam
Where does the data for Resnik Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
