Summary
Although privately owned, the dam has a high hazard potential and a storage capacity of 257 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 117 acre-feet. The dam, with a height of 30 feet, is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type and is situated in the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being used for multiple purposes including fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and recreation, Stallings Bros Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. It does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation and has not been inspected or maintained by any state agency. The dam's location in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri, makes it an important structure for water resource management and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the impact of private dams on local ecosystems and communities. With a history dating back over 50 years, Stallings Bros Dam continues to be a vital part of the region's infrastructure for flood control and water management.

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.
