Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7 dam
Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7
Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7, also known as Norris Lake Ca-29 Dam, is a private-owned structure located in Reger, Missouri, along the West Locust Creek. Completed in 1983, the earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. With a storage capacity of 16 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock, grade stabilization, and small fish pond purposes within the region.
Despite being non-federally regulated, the dam's low hazard potential and high risk assessment rating of 2 highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the structure's structural height of 28 feet and stone core type demonstrate its resilience to potential hydraulic challenges. With no spillway and outlet gates in place, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain to be determined, underscoring the need for continued vigilance and preparedness in the face of changing climate conditions.
Overall, Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7 stands as a critical component of the local ecosystem, providing essential water resources for fish and wildlife while also offering key benefits for fire protection and grade stabilization. As climate enthusiasts and water resource aficionados, it is crucial to recognize the significance of such structures in maintaining ecological balance and safeguarding against potential risks, underscoring the need for ongoing assessment, management, and preparedness in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
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 Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7
Where does the data for Norris Ca-29-6003-171-002-7 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.
