Completed in 1990, this earth dam with a buttress core stands at 47 feet high and stretches 925 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 660 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 411 acre-feet, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area.
The dam's spillway, an uncontrolled type with a width of 120 feet, helps manage excess water flow during heavy rainfall events. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the condition assessment as of 2007 was deemed satisfactory. Regular inspections are conducted every 2 years, with the last inspection taking place in May 2016. Located in Jackson County, Missouri, Lone Jack Lake Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding, making it a vital asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and appreciate.
