Lake Hanna Dam, located in St.
Francois, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for tailings storage. Completed in 1967, this dam stands at a height of 38 feet and has a length of 1650 feet, providing a storage capacity of 2025 acre-feet. The dam holds back water from Brewers Creek and has a surface area of 135 acres, with a maximum discharge capacity of 5003 cubic feet per second.
Despite being regulated and inspected by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, Lake Hanna Dam has a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 43 feet and an emergency action plan has been prepared. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's risk management measures are not specified, but it is subject to regular inspections every two years. Lake Hanna Dam serves as a vital water resource in the region, illustrating the intersection of water management and environmental stewardship.
