The dam is privately owned and primarily operates as an earth-type structure with a buttress core. With a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition.
Situated on the TR-South Grand River, Nettelblad Lake Dam covers a surface area of 7 acres and has a drainage area of 120 acres. Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for recreation and wildlife in the area. While lacking certain safety assessments such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and risk management measures, the dam remains an important feature in the local ecosystem and a key resource for the surrounding community.
Overall, Nettelblad Lake Dam represents a historic landmark in Missouri's water resource infrastructure. Its construction in the early 20th century has enabled the management of water levels for various purposes, contributing to the local environment's sustainability. However, the absence of recent inspections and safety protocols may pose potential risks, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the dam's long-term functionality and safety for both human and ecological communities.
