Summary
With a height of 26 feet and a normal storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, this dam provides essential support for the local ecosystem and recreational activities. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is crucial for maintaining the water levels and enhancing the biodiversity of the surrounding area.
Situated along the TR-Clear Fork Mineral Creek, Kallstrom Lake Dam offers a picturesque setting for nature enthusiasts and climate advocates to explore. With a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 315 square miles, the dam plays a vital role in managing water resources and ensuring the sustainability of the ecosystem. Although the dam is not state-regulated or inspected, its structural integrity and risk management measures are in place to mitigate any potential hazards.
As part of the Kansas City District, Kallstrom Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of conservation and stewardship of water resources. With its moderate risk assessment and uncontrolled spillway type, the dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human intervention and natural processes. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kallstrom Lake Dam offers a unique opportunity to witness the intersection of environmental protection and community engagement in action.

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.
