Summary
Standing at a height of 32 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres. The dam, situated on the TR-Little Bonne Femme Creek, has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition.
Despite being privately owned, Hill Creek Acres Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state of Missouri. With no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement requirements, the responsibility for the maintenance and safety of the dam falls solely on its private owners. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in December 1997, with no updates on its condition assessment or emergency action plan preparedness.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change may find Hill Creek Acres Lake Dam intriguing due to its unique design as an earth dam with a buttress core. The dam's primary purpose for recreation highlights the importance of balancing human enjoyment with the need for proper dam safety measures. As discussions around climate resilience and water resource management continue to evolve, understanding the state of dams like Hill Creek Acres Lake Dam is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of these structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
