Summary

Completed in 1977, this earth dam measures 51 feet in height and spans 650 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 510 acre-feet. With a hazard potential rated as high, the dam is subject to regular inspections by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG, ensuring its structural integrity and safety.

The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," with a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" and a spillway width of 20 feet. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment in 2007, the dam's risk assessment is classified as moderate, with a risk management plan yet to be specified. The structure is also subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement, highlighting the importance of water resource management and safety protocols in the region.

With its significant impact on the local environment and water resources, the Fletcher Mine Clarification Dam serves as a critical component in maintaining water flow and storage in Reynolds County, Missouri. As climate and water resource enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition, its role in regulating TR Bee Fork and mitigating flood risks underscores the importance of sustainable infrastructure management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
