Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam dam
Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam
Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam, located in Cass, Missouri, is a private dam built in 1969 primarily for irrigation purposes. With a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet, this earth dam sits on the TR-Crooked Branch river or stream. Its hazard potential is rated as high, although its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated." The dam has not been regulated or inspected by the state, but it serves as a crucial resource for irrigation and recreation in the area.
Despite being a private structure, Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam plays a significant role in water resource management and recreation activities in LaTour, Missouri. It stands as a testament to the engineering capabilities of its designers, with a buttress core type foundation supporting its 25-foot structural height. The dam's reservoir has a normal storage capacity of 58 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres, enhancing the landscape and providing opportunities for leisure activities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the data surrounding Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam, they can appreciate its historical significance and the role it plays in supporting irrigation needs in the region. While its risk potential is noted as high, further assessments and emergency preparedness measures may be necessary to ensure the safety and functionality of this key infrastructure. As discussions around water management and conservation continue, Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam stands as a focal point for understanding the intersection of human development and environmental sustainability.

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 Twin Pines Country Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Twin Pines Country Club 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.
