Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South dam
Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South
Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South is a private earth dam located in Lakeview Heights, Missouri, built in 1970 for recreation purposes. With a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, this dam on TR-COONEY CREEK is a popular spot for water enthusiasts in Benton County. The dam has a hazard potential rating of high, however, its condition assessment is currently not rated.
Despite not being regulated or permitted by the state, Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South provides a surface area of 4 acres and serves as a valuable recreational resource for the local community. The dam's maximum storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and normal storage of 27 acre-feet make it an important feature for water resource and climate enthusiasts. While the dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment details are not readily available, its location and purpose highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for public safety and water management.
With the Kansas City District overseeing its operations, Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South stands as a significant earth dam in Missouri's landscape. As a private structure, its role in providing recreational opportunities and water storage underscores the importance of sustainable dam management practices to ensure the safety and well-being of surrounding communities. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess such structures, the significance of Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South will remain vital in the broader context of water management and conservation efforts.
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 Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South
Where does the data for Jackson+Keller Trust Lake Dam-South 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 High 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.
