Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North Dam
Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North
Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North is a privately owned earth dam located in Carter, Missouri, near the city of Van Buren. Built in 1972, the dam's primary purpose is for recreation, with a storage capacity of 445 acre-feet and a normal storage of 384 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a structural height of 32 feet, providing a surface area of 26 acres for recreational activities.
Situated on TR-CURRENT RIVER, the dam is within the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being state-regulated with no permitting, inspection, or enforcement, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Although specific details such as spillway type and maximum discharge are not available, Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North remains a significant feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region, offering opportunities for outdoor recreation and enjoyment in a scenic natural setting.
With its tranquil location along the river and ample storage capacity, Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North presents an inviting environment for visitors to engage in various water-related activities, making it a valuable asset for both the local community and tourists alike. As efforts continue to maintain and monitor the dam's condition and safety, it serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management and the need to balance human recreation with environmental preservation in the face of climate change challenges.

About Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North
Where does the data for Neil Land Development Corp Dam-North come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.
