Summary

This buttress type dam has a surface area of 13.6 acres and is situated in the Rock Island District. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not specified.

With a unique design and purpose, Associated Electric Pi 2-59 serves as a vital component in Missouri's water resource management. Its location in Chariton County highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring the dam's integrity to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the preservation of its storage capacity. The dam's role in regulating water flow and providing essential services to the public underscores the need for comprehensive risk management measures and emergency preparedness.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Associated Electric Pi 2-59 presents a fascinating case study of a public utility dam in Missouri. The structure's interaction with the environment, its potential risks, and the lack of specific data on its condition assessment and emergency plans raise important questions about the resilience of our water infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns. As discussions around dam safety and management continue to evolve, the unique characteristics of this dam offer valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in ensuring sustainable water resource management for future generations.

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. 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

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, 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.
