Summary

The dam is privately owned and stands at a height of 28 feet, with a storage capacity of 374 acre-feet and a surface area of 25 acres. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, providing a serene escape for visitors to enjoy the beauty of Indian Camp Creek.

Despite its recreational appeal, Boone Trail Farm Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection took place in May 1980, highlighting the need for further evaluation to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure. While it is not regulated by the state and does not have a state jurisdiction, it remains a key feature in the Kansas City District, offering a unique opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.

Even though Boone Trail Farm Lake Dam may pose a high hazard potential, its allure as a recreational destination is undeniable. With its picturesque location and serene surroundings, the dam provides a peaceful retreat for visitors to enjoy the wonders of the outdoors. As efforts continue to assess and manage the risks associated with the dam, it remains a captivating spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature.

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.
