Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet and has a length of 465 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-GOOSE CR river or stream and is regulated by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG of Missouri.
With a surface area of 3 acres and a drainage area of 60 square miles, Kool Breeze Ridge Dam poses a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition. The dam has a spillway width of 15 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 313 cubic feet per second. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not undergone any recent modifications and is inspected every three years to ensure its safety.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kool Breeze Ridge Dam offers a captivating opportunity to explore the intersection of human recreation and environmental regulation. Its picturesque location and significant storage capacity make it a vital part of the local landscape, while its regulatory oversight ensures that it remains a safe and sustainable structure for years to come.

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.
