Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam dam
Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam
Located in Howell, Missouri, the Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam is a federal-owned structure primarily utilized for recreational purposes along the TRIB-TABOR CREEK. Standing at a height of 25 feet with a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, the dam boasts a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 1981. Despite its age, the dam continues to serve as a key feature in the Memphis District, offering visitors a serene and picturesque spot for outdoor activities.
While the dam's specifics such as length and volume remain unspecified, its core type is noted as Buttress with an earth foundation. The dam's primary purpose of recreation aligns with its tranquil surroundings, providing a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike. With a drainage area of 240 acres and a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, the Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam offers a glimpse into Missouri's diverse landscape and water resource management practices.
Although lacking in recent updates or evaluations, the Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam still stands as a testament to federal investment in recreational infrastructure. With its location in the heart of Howell County, Missouri, the dam continues to attract visitors seeking a natural escape and serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and preserving our water resources in the face of changing climates and environmental challenges.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam
Where does the data for Siloam Springs Quad No.1 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
