Summary
The dam, made of earth and buttress core types, stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-MIDDLE FORK GRAND RIVER, the dam serves the local community by offering a surface area of 5 acres for recreational activities such as fishing and boating.
Despite being non-federally regulated, Croce Lake Dam poses a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. With a normal storage capacity of 42 acre-feet and a drainage area of 145 square miles, the dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the region. The dam also contributes to the overall environmental health of the area by providing a habitat for various aquatic species and supporting the local ecosystem.
Although lacking recent inspection and assessment data, Croce Lake Dam remains a key feature in the landscape of Worth, Missouri. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the significance of such structures in maintaining a balance between human needs and environmental sustainability. As we continue to study and appreciate the role of dams in our ecosystem, Croce Lake Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of human ingenuity and nature's resilience.

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.
