Waters Edge Estates Lake Dam, located in Boone County, Missouri, was completed in 1980 and stands at a height of 25 feet, with a storage capacity of 227 acre-feet.
The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type. Situated on the Hominy Branch river, the dam poses a high hazard potential but has not been assessed for its condition.
Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated or inspected by the state of Missouri. It is not under the jurisdiction of any state agency and does not require state permitting or enforcement. The dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks emergency action plans or inundation maps. The risk assessment and management measures for the dam are also not specified, leaving a question mark on its safety and preparedness for potential emergencies. Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate may find the lack of oversight and maintenance of Waters Edge Estates Lake Dam concerning, as it raises issues of safety and environmental risk.
