Wind
Humidity
Charles, Missouri, along the TR to Missouri River. Completed in 1955, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 4 acres. With a dam height of 30 feet, it presents a high hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently not rated.
Despite being privately owned, Arrowhead Estates-Lower-Dam(Shallow) is not regulated by the state of Missouri and does not fall under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, or enforcement. The dam's designer remains unknown, and it has not undergone any significant modifications over the years. While the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates listed, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor its condition and potential risks, especially given its high hazard potential.
In terms of emergency preparedness, Arrowhead Estates-Lower-Dam(Shallow) lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information for emergency situations. The dam does not currently meet EAP guidelines or have inundation maps prepared. As such, there is a need for improved risk assessment and management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of this recreational structure for both the surrounding community and the environment.
