Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam dam
Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam
Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam, located in Jackson County, Missouri, was completed in 1932 with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. The dam, constructed as an earth-type structure with a buttress core, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 101 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-East Branch-Crawford Creek, the dam serves as a vital resource for water supply, recreation, and wildlife habitat in the area.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential due to its location and storage capacity. The dam's condition assessment is currently rated as "Not Rated," and there is no established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor the maintenance and inspection of such critical infrastructure to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for both human and ecological needs.
With its picturesque surroundings and essential role in providing water for various purposes, Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between human development and environmental conservation. As advocates for sustainable water management practices, it is crucial to support efforts to maintain and improve the resilience of dams like Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam to address the challenges posed by climate change and increasing water demands. By staying informed and engaged in the preservation of our water resources, we can work towards a more secure and sustainable future for all.

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 Lone Pine Farm Lake Dam
Where does the data for Lone Pine Farm Lake 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 High 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.
