Turkey Creek Dam #2, also known as Brands Lower Lake Dam-Sec 22, is a private-owned structure located in Ste.


Summary

Genevieve, Missouri. Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and stretches 230 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, providing a serene environment for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing and boating on the 3-acre surface area of the lake.

Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, Turkey Creek Dam #2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with standards. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, this dam poses a moderate risk according to the latest evaluation. While it does not have a spillway, the uncontrolled overflow system is designed to handle a maximum discharge of 550 cubic feet per second, protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate Turkey Creek Dam #2 for its role in providing a recreational space while also serving as a crucial infrastructure for water management in the region. As it continues to be monitored and maintained regularly, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management and the need for proactive risk assessment and management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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. 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

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, 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.
