Summary
This private dam has a height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet, with a surface area of 4 acres and draining an area of 65 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been officially rated.
The dam, primarily made of earth with a buttress core, was completed at an unspecified date and is under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. While it is not regulated by the state, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment information are currently unavailable. With its location on the Crabapple Creek, Klatt Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Klatt Lake Dam provides an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and management in Missouri. Its role in serving various community and environmental needs, along with its potential risks and assessment challenges, highlight the nuanced considerations involved in maintaining and regulating dams for both safety and sustainability. As interest grows in understanding the impact of climate change on water resources, dams like Klatt Lake Dam offer valuable insights into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems.

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.
