Green Dam, located in Dent County, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1929 for recreational purposes on the TR Hyers Branch river.
With a dam height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, this low-hazard structure provides water storage for a surface area of 4 acres and drainage area of 68 square miles. Despite being unregulated by the state and without a formal inspection or maintenance schedule, Green Dam has a condition assessment of "Not Rated" and a hazard potential considered "Low".
Although Green Dam does not have a designated emergency action plan or updated risk assessment, its historical significance as a recreational site in the region makes it a valuable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts. While the dam's condition and maintenance may warrant further attention and oversight, its contribution to the local ecosystem and community highlights the importance of sustainable management practices for water infrastructure. As a potential case study for resilience planning and risk mitigation in the face of climate change, Green Dam serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between water resources, infrastructure development, and environmental stewardship.
