Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 20 feet with a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet, is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. It is situated on the TR-Shoal Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Crouch Lake Dam East remains a vital structure for water resource management in the area. Although not regulated or inspected by the state, the dam provides essential water storage for irrigation, fire protection, stock, and recreational purposes. Despite its age, the dam has not undergone modifications or assessments for risk management measures.
Overall, Crouch Lake Dam East plays a crucial role in supporting the water needs of the surrounding community and serves as a key infrastructure for maintaining water resources in Clinton County, Missouri. As climate and water resource enthusiasts, it is important to monitor the condition and functionality of dams like Crouch Lake Dam East to ensure their continued effectiveness in water management and conservation efforts.

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.
