Summary
The earth dam, with a height of 26 feet and a storage capacity of 167 acre-feet, is primarily owned and operated by a private entity. Located on the Hundred and Two River in Andrew County, the dam's low hazard potential and "Not Rated" condition assessment suggest a stable structure.
While not regulated by the state, Sybert Lake Dam-Lower plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, with a drainage area of 381 square miles. The dam's location in Rosendale, Missouri, ensures its importance in local emergency preparedness and environmental conservation efforts. Despite lacking a formal inspection history and emergency action plan, the dam's presence contributes to the overall water management infrastructure of the region, catering to a variety of needs from debris control to recreational activities.
Situated within the Rock Island District and under the ownership of a private entity, Sybert Lake Dam-Lower symbolizes the intricate interplay between water resource management and climate resilience. With a surface area of 12 acres and normal storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, the dam stands as a testament to the multi-dimensional role that water infrastructure plays in ensuring community well-being and environmental sustainability.

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.
