Summary

Genevieve, Missouri, is a privately owned recreational lake with a primary purpose of providing leisure activities for enthusiasts. This Earth dam, completed in 1966, stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 139 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres, the lake is nestled within a drainage area of 1798 acres, making it a significant water resource in the region.

Despite its recreational allure, Lake Kal-Tatri poses a high hazard potential, as it has not been rated for condition assessment since its last inspection in 1978. The dam's emergency action plan status and compliance with guidelines remain unclear, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find interest in the dynamic challenges posed by the lake's structural integrity and the potential implications for the surrounding environment.

As climate change impacts intensify, the importance of maintaining and evaluating infrastructure like Lake Kal-Tatri becomes increasingly critical. With its strategic location and historical significance, this privately owned reservoir serves as a pivotal hub for water-related activities in the area. Engaging with the complexities of dam safety and emergency preparedness at Lake Kal-Tatri offers a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to explore the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in a captivating setting.

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. 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

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, 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.
