Poosey 79-35-05-10 dam
Poosey 79-35-05-10
Poosey 79-35-05-10 is a state-owned earth dam located in Livingston, Missouri, with a height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet. Completed in 1990, this dam serves the primary purpose of water storage for the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 69 acre-feet and a drainage area of 92 acres. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation.
Managed by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Poosey 79-35-05-10 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. While the dam has not been inspected recently and lacks specific emergency action plans and risk assessments, its strategic location and design make it a key component in the local water infrastructure. With the potential to mitigate flood risks and provide essential water storage during dry periods, this dam is a vital asset for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor the condition and functionality of Poosey 79-35-05-10, there is an opportunity for collaboration with state and federal agencies to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this earth dam. By advocating for regular inspections, emergency preparedness measures, and risk assessments, stakeholders can work towards enhancing the resilience and sustainability of this critical water infrastructure. With proper management and oversight, Poosey 79-35-05-10 can continue to serve its purpose in safeguarding water resources and supporting the local ecosystem for years to come.
Dam data reference
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 Poosey 79-35-05-10
Where does the data for Poosey 79-35-05-10 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.
