Summary
Charles, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam that was completed in 1959 for the primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 100 acre-feet. Situated on TR FEMME OSAGE CREEK, the dam serves to create a surface area of 10 acres and a drainage area of 320 acres, making it a valuable resource for water-based recreational activities.
Despite its age, Arp Choille CO Dam Sec 23 has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and is currently rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of its condition assessment. The dam does not have any associated locks or spillways, and its inspection frequency is listed as 0. While there are no specific risk management measures outlined for this dam, its maintenance and safety are crucial for preserving the recreational opportunities it provides and ensuring the safety of its surrounding community.
As a part of the Kansas City District, Arp Choille CO Dam Sec 23 falls under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). With its picturesque location and potential for water-based activities, this dam serves as both a recreational hub and a vital piece of infrastructure in the local area, highlighting the importance of water resource management and climate resilience for enthusiasts and stakeholders alike.

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.
