Hill And Dale Dam West dam
Hill And Dale Dam West
Located in Carter, Missouri, Hill and Dale Dam West is a private earth dam completed in 1950 with a primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a height of 25 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and serves the surrounding area with a normal storage capacity of 44 acre-feet. The dam sits on the TR-PINE VALLEY CREEK and is under the jurisdiction of the Little Rock District.
Despite being privately owned and not state-regulated, Hill and Dale Dam West has a high hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. With no recent inspection data available, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are not specified. As a key recreational structure in the region, the dam poses potential risks that need to be carefully monitored and managed to ensure the safety of residents and visitors in the area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Hill and Dale Dam West an intriguing site for its unique design as an earth dam with buttress core type. With its proximity to the city of VAN BUREN and the USACEDISTRICT of Little Rock, the dam provides a valuable recreational resource while also highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and risk management for sustainable water resource management in the region.

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 Hill And Dale Dam West
Where does the data for Hill And Dale Dam West 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.
