Croce Lake Dam dam
Croce Lake Dam
Croce Lake Dam in Worth, Missouri is a privately owned structure designed primarily for recreation and water supply purposes. 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
- 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 Croce Lake Dam
Where does the data for Croce 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 Low 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.
