Summary
This private dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. It is categorized as an earth dam with a buttress core type and is considered to have low hazard potential.
Situated on TR-SOAP CREEK within the Gasconade County, Limberg Lake Dam offers a serene 6-acre surface area for water enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. While it is not regulated or inspected by the state, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unspecified, indicating potential areas for further development and enhancement in terms of safety and emergency preparedness.
With its picturesque location and significant water storage capacity, Limberg Lake Dam presents an opportunity for both recreation and water supply in the region. As an integral part of the local landscape, efforts to ensure its safety and sustainability for the community's benefit could further enhance the overall water resource management and climate resilience in the area.

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.
