Summary
With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet, the dam primarily serves the purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition, with no recent inspection data available.
Despite its modest size and limited structural information, Wieburg Lake Dam offers valuable water resource management and recreational opportunities for the community. The dam's location within the Audrain County provides essential irrigation support for local agricultural activities while also creating a 12-acre surface area for recreational use. Although not regulated by the state, the dam's low hazard potential underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality for years to come.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the intricacies of Wieburg Lake Dam, they can appreciate its role in sustaining agricultural productivity and providing a space for leisure activities. While the dam's design and construction details remain unspecified, its presence along the TR-Little Loutre Creek highlights the interconnectedness of water infrastructure and environmental ecosystems in the region. With a focus on irrigation and recreation, Wieburg Lake Dam exemplifies the intersection of human ingenuity and natural resources, showcasing the delicate balance required to manage water effectively in a changing climate.

Dam Data Reference
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.
