Summary
Standing at a height of 18 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition has not been rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance assessments.
Situated along the TR-Ward Branch river or stream, the Allen Dale Subdivision Dam serves as a recreational amenity for the local community in Republic, Missouri. Although it is not regulated or permitted by the state, the dam provides a reservoir for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. With no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's operational and emergency response protocols remain unclear, raising questions about its safety and resilience in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the role of dams like Allen Dale Subdivision Dam in providing recreational opportunities while also understanding the need for proper maintenance, inspection, and risk assessment. With its unlisted foundations and lack of recent evaluations, this dam presents potential vulnerabilities that warrant further attention and oversight to ensure the safety of both the structure and the surrounding community in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
