Standing at a height of 25 feet, the dam serves a dual purpose of debris control and irrigation, with a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its current condition, and inspection frequency is listed as zero.
Located in Mineola, the Easterday Dam East is managed by private owners and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri. Although not regulated by the state, the dam has not been subject to state inspections, permitting, or enforcement actions. Given its unlisted foundation type and lack of spillway, the dam's structural integrity and emergency preparedness remain unknown. Nevertheless, for enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate, Easterday Dam East presents an intriguing case study in privately owned infrastructure in the heart of the Midwest.
