Henderson And Day Dam dam
Henderson And Day Dam
Henderson and Day Dam, located in Howell, Missouri, along the TR TABOR CREEK, was completed in 1960 with a primary purpose of recreation. This privately owned Earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet, providing a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet of water. While the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it serves as a crucial resource for water recreation enthusiasts in the area.
Although the dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, it plays a significant role in providing recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike. With a surface area of 11 acres and a drainage area of 307 acres, Henderson and Day Dam offers a tranquil and picturesque setting for activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. Despite its age, the dam continues to be a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of Missouri's landscape.
As a part of the Memphis District, Henderson and Day Dam not only enhances the local ecosystem but also contributes to the overall water management and conservation efforts in the region. With its historical significance and recreational value, this Earth dam stands as a testament to the importance of preserving and utilizing water resources in a sustainable manner for the benefit of both the environment and the community.
Dam data reference
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.

About Henderson And Day Dam
Where does the data for Henderson And Day Dam 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 above 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.
