Charles, Missouri, was completed in 1973 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This private dam, standing at a height of 30 feet and stretching out to 460 feet in length, serves multiple purposes including fish and wildlife pond creation, recreation, and flood risk mitigation along the TR-SEHRT Creek.
With a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet, the dam's maximum discharge rate reaches up to 47 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated. With an uncontrolled spillway width of 20 feet, Struckhoff Lake Dam Sec 11 provides essential flood protection for the surrounding area while also offering recreational opportunities for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
Although not under state regulation or inspection, this dam contributes to the overall water resource management strategies in the Kansas City District. As a crucial component in the local watershed, Struckhoff Lake Dam Sec 11 continues to play a vital role in balancing flood risk reduction efforts with the preservation of natural habitats and recreational amenities for the community.
