Windmiller is a privately owned dam located in Callaway, Missouri, along Dry Fork Creek. Built in 1958, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam is rated as having a low hazard potential and its condition has not been assessed.
Primarily used for recreation, Dr. Windmiller provides a surface area of 7 acres for activities such as boating and fishing. Situated within the St. Louis District, this dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any state agency and is not subject to regular inspections, permitting, or enforcement. Although it has not been modified in recent years, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan and has not been assessed for risk management measures.
While offering recreational opportunities, Dr. Windmiller serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and maintaining aging infrastructure to ensure the safety of both the environment and surrounding communities. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in the potential implications of the dam's condition and the need for proactive measures to mitigate any risks associated with its continued use.
