Frerichs Sec-22 Lake Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 3, 2026
Frerichs Sec-22 Lake Dam, located in Oak Hill, Missouri, was completed in 1971 and serves as a vital recreational resource in the area.
Summary
The dam, with a height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 241 acre-feet, is primarily used for recreation purposes, providing a surface area of 15 acres for various water activities. Situated on TR-Brush Creek, the dam is classified as an Earth dam with a Buttress core type, contributing to a low hazard potential.
Despite being privately owned, the dam is not regulated or inspected by the state authorities, and its condition assessment remains unrated. With no emergency action plan in place, there are limited risk management measures identified for the dam. The surrounding Crawford County, Missouri, community benefits from the recreational opportunities provided by Frerichs Sec-22 Lake Dam, although there are potential considerations for enhancing safety and emergency preparedness protocols in the future. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam serves as a significant recreational asset nestled within the natural beauty of the area.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
