Mononame 826 is a privately-owned dam located in St.
Francois, Missouri, specifically in the city of Fredericktown. Completed in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans a length of 900 feet, with a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, but it also serves as a water supply source. The dam impounds Musco Creek offstream, contributing to a drainage area of 89 square miles.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Mononame 826 has not been rated for its condition assessment. It is not regulated by the state and has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance. Furthermore, emergency preparedness measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), have not been documented. Given its significance for both recreational and water supply purposes, there is a need for increased attention to ensure the safety and sustainability of this dam, especially in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource management challenges.
