Summary
Genevieve, Missouri, is a privately owned structure that was completed in 1974 for the primary purpose of recreation. The dam, with a height of 33 feet, serves as a reservoir with a storage capacity of 194 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 115 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Coldwater Creek, the dam is located in the WOMACK area and covers a surface area of 11 acres, with a drainage area of 530 acres.
Although Dalton Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state agency, it has a high hazard potential due to its condition being marked as "Not Rated". The last inspection was conducted in August 1978, and there is no information available on emergency action plans or risk management measures for the dam. Despite its lack of recent assessments, Dalton Lake Dam remains a significant feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area, offering opportunities for recreational activities and wildlife habitat in the region.

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.
