Summary
2 Dam, located in Fredericktown, Missouri, was completed in 1978 and serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and as a small fish pond. This private earth dam, with a structural height of 29 feet and a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet, sits on the TR to Saline Creek. Despite being unlisted for foundations, the dam is designed as a buttress-type structure and covers a surface area of 5 acres within a drainage area of 60 square miles.
With a maximum storage capacity of 78 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 22 acre-feet, this dam poses a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. While it has not been inspected since November 1980, the dam remains in operation for fire protection and stock purposes. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness for the John Bollinger No. 2 Dam are currently unknown, indicating a need for further assessment and monitoring to ensure the safety and integrity of this water resource in Missouri.

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.
