Summary

Built in 1960 for recreational purposes, this private earth dam boasts a height of 37 feet, a length of 360 feet, and a storage capacity of 198 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a width of 18 feet, ensuring efficient water management for the surrounding area.

Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, Camp Solidarity Lake Dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its location and the potential consequences of failure. With a drainage area of 163 square miles and a maximum discharge of 857 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the community.

Located just 3 miles from the city of PACIFIC, Camp Solidarity Lake Dam serves as a vital component of the local ecosystem and a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Its association with the TR TO MERAMEC RIVER and its proximity to various recreational activities make it a valuable asset for both residents and visitors alike.

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.
