Shepherd Of The Hills Hist Soc Dam dam
Shepherd Of The Hills Hist Soc Dam
Shepherd of The Hills Hist Soc Dam, located in Forsyth, Missouri, was completed in 1971 primarily for recreational purposes. This private earth dam, standing at 33 feet high, has a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and serves as a picturesque spot for outdoor enthusiasts in the area. Situated on TR to Roark Creek, the dam contributes to the beauty of the surrounding landscape and offers a tranquil setting for visitors to enjoy.
With a low hazard potential and a "Not Rated" condition assessment, Shepherd of The Hills Hist Soc Dam provides a safe and stable recreational environment for the community. Although not regulated or inspected by the state, the dam continues to stand as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate awareness. Its serene surface area of 4 acres and proximity to the Little Rock District add to its charm and appeal for those interested in exploring the intersection of nature and infrastructure.
As a symbol of responsible stewardship and environmental consciousness, Shepherd of The Hills Hist Soc Dam exemplifies the harmony between human development and natural resources. Despite its unregulated status, the dam remains a valuable asset for the local community, offering a peaceful retreat and recreational opportunities amidst the rolling hills of Taney, Missouri. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between conservation and recreation in our ever-changing world.

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 Shepherd Of The Hills Hist Soc Dam
Where does the data for Shepherd Of The Hills Hist Soc 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.
