Serving as a crucial resource for the surrounding area, the dam regulates the flow of TR-Little Cedar Creek, providing both recreational opportunities and water supply for the community.
Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG, Unity #2 Dam has a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition, indicating its structural integrity and safety measures are well-maintained. With a drainage area of 1190 acres and a surface area of 26 acres, this dam plays a vital role in flood control and water management in the region. Despite its age, regular inspections and enforcement by state regulatory agencies ensure the dam's continued operation and safety for the public.
Emanuel Cleaver (D) represents the area in Congress, and as a part of the Kansas City District, Unity #2 Dam is a key infrastructure project that contributes to the overall environmental and recreational landscape of the region. With its historical significance and ongoing importance in water resource management, Unity #2 Dam stands as a testament to the essential role dams play in maintaining a sustainable and resilient water supply system in Missouri.
