Francois, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1973 for the primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a height of 73 feet and with a length of 464 feet, this dam controls the flow of TR-BEE RUN, providing a maximum storage capacity of 584 acre-feet. The dam's spillway, with a width of 50 feet, is uncontrolled, and the hazard potential is rated as high.
Despite its high hazard potential, Goff Springs Dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in March 2016. Regular inspections are conducted every two years to ensure the dam's structural integrity and overall safety. The dam is regulated and permitted by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, with enforcement and inspection also carried out by the state. With its moderate risk assessment, Goff Springs Dam remains a vital structure for water resource management in the region, serving both recreational and regulatory purposes effectively.
