Summary

With a primary purpose of debris control, the dam also functions for fire protection, as a stock or small fish pond, and holds a normal storage capacity of 25 acre-feet. Standing at a height of 25 feet, this earth dam with a buttress core type plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area.

Despite being privately owned, Hagewood Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Although not regulated by the state, the dam's importance in managing water flow and protecting against debris accumulation cannot be understated. The dam's location in Republic, Missouri, underscores its significance in the local water resource system and its role in maintaining environmental balance in the region.

With a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, Hagewood Lake Dam is a vital structure for managing water in the area. While the dam's condition assessment and emergency action plan status are currently not rated, its role in debris control and water management highlights its importance for climate and water resource enthusiasts. As a key feature in the local water infrastructure, Hagewood Lake Dam stands as a testament to the crucial role of dams in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring water resource sustainability.

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. 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

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, 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.
