Summary

Albans, Missouri, with a primary purpose designated as 'Other'. Constructed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 570 acre-feet. Situated along the Missouri River offstream, this dike serves as a crucial component in managing water resources in the region.

Owned by a Public Utility, Ash Pond Dike-North-(Dry) is classified as having a low hazard potential and is currently rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment. Despite not being regulated by the state, this structure plays a vital role in flood control and water management activities. With a surface area of 38 acres and draining an area of 50 acres, this dike is essential for maintaining water levels and preventing potential risks in the surrounding area.

While lacking certain regulatory features such as spillways and outlet gates, Ash Pond Dike-North-(Dry) remains a crucial asset for water resource management in Franklin County, Missouri. With its strategic location and historical significance, this structure continues to be a key player in addressing climate-related challenges and ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
