Hedeman Farms Lake Dam Reservoir Report
Nearby: Spain Lake Dam Mononame790
Last Updated: April 4, 2026
Hedeman Farms Lake Dam, located in Lockwood, Missouri, was completed in 1969 for the primary purpose of irrigation.
Summary
Owned privately, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 105 acre-feet. The dam serves to regulate water flow from TR to Horse Creek, benefiting the surrounding area with a drainage area of 220 square miles.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Hedeman Farms Lake Dam remains an essential structure for water resource management in Dade County. Despite not being state regulated or inspected, the dam continues to provide vital irrigation support to the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will appreciate the historical significance and ongoing functionality of this earth dam in maintaining water supply for agriculture in the area.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
