Summary
Lake Dam, located in Marthasville, Missouri, was completed in 1973 and serves as a crucial structure for debris control along TR Charrette Creek. The dam, with a height of 30 feet, has a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres. Its primary purpose includes not only debris control but also fire protection, stock or small fish pond, and recreation, making it a versatile resource for the local community.
Despite being privately owned, Bunge,D. Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, highlighting the importance of self-maintenance and monitoring for its continued functionality. With a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam stands as a reliable asset for water resource management in Warren County, Missouri. While the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates, its design as an earth dam with a buttress core ensures stability and longevity.
As a part of the St. Louis District, Bunge,D. Lake Dam contributes to the overall water infrastructure in the region, providing essential services for debris control and recreational activities. Its location along TR Charrette Creek adds to its significance for water resource and climate enthusiasts who recognize the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for the benefit of both the environment and the community.

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.
