Summary

This Earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 25 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 602 acre-feet. Situated on the Trib-Roubidoux Creek, the dam covers a surface area of 45 acres and serves a drainage area of 359 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment has not been rated, indicating a need for further inspection and evaluation.

Managed by the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Bloodland Quad No.3 Dam plays a vital role in providing recreational opportunities for the local community. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain features such as spillways and outlet gates, its emergency action plan and risk management measures are yet to be fully assessed and updated. With its location in a picturesque setting, the dam offers a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities in the Waynesville area.

As the Bloodland Quad No.3 Dam continues to be a popular spot for recreation in Missouri, efforts to maintain its structural integrity and emergency preparedness are essential for ensuring the safety of both visitors and the surrounding environment. By staying informed about the dam's condition and potential risks, water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of proper maintenance and oversight in preserving this valuable resource for future generations.

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.
