Bee Veer Mine Dam dam
Bee Veer Mine Dam
Bee Veer Mine Dam, located in Macon, Missouri, was completed in 1950 and serves as a significant water resource for the area. With a dam height of 60 feet and a length of 1700 feet, the earth dam with buttress core type provides a storage capacity of 2661 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 2220 acre-feet. The dam holds back a tailing dam, showcasing its importance in managing water resources in the region.
Owned by a public utility, Bee Veer Mine Dam is regulated and inspected by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri. The dam has been classified as having a significant hazard potential while maintaining a satisfactory condition. The last inspection in 2016 confirmed its structural integrity, ensuring the safety of the surrounding community. The dam's association with water resource management and its role as a critical infrastructure highlight its importance in the region.
As a key component of the water resource infrastructure in the area, Bee Veer Mine Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow, storage, and distribution. With its earth dam structure and buttress core type, the dam provides essential storage capacity for the region. Its regulatory oversight and satisfactory condition ensure that it continues to serve its purpose effectively, highlighting the importance of proper dam management for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.

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 Bee Veer Mine Dam
Where does the data for Bee Veer Mine Dam 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 Significant 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.
