Summary

Completed in 1965, this buttress dam serves a variety of purposes, including providing a storage capacity of 1750 acre-feet for water resource management in the region. The dam has a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 3304 cubic feet per second, making it a crucial component of the local watershed system.

Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, Lakeview Dam is in satisfactory condition and meets regulatory requirements for inspection, maintenance, and enforcement by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in December 2017, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place in the event of a critical situation. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Lakeview Dam plays a vital role in water management and flood control efforts in the area, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring its infrastructure for the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
