Built in 1977 by designer Karl Frese, this earth dam stands at 51 feet high and stretches 400 feet long, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 223 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, providing an area for water enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as boating and fishing.
The dam's condition assessment in 2008 deemed it satisfactory, with a high hazard potential due to its location on Trib Shoal Creek. Despite this, the risk assessment ranks it as moderate, indicating a level 3 risk. Regular inspections are conducted every 2 years to ensure the dam's safety and functionality. The dam is regulated by the Dam and Reservoir Safety Program in Missouri, with state jurisdiction and enforcement measures in place to uphold safety standards. Green Dam offers a picturesque setting for recreation while maintaining a balance of risk management and environmental stewardship for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate.
