Summary
The dam, owned by a private entity, stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet. Situated on the Rogue Creek, it covers a surface area of 12 acres and serves a drainage area of 555 square miles.
Despite its incomplete status, Rogue Creek Upper Dam poses a high hazard potential. With a condition assessment of 'Not Rated', the dam's safety and stability remain a concern. The dam has not been inspected or assessed for risk management measures, making its current state uncertain. However, the dam's location in Washington County, Missouri, offers great potential for recreational activities once completed, attracting water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.
Efforts towards completing and ensuring the safety of Rogue Creek Upper Dam could provide valuable recreational opportunities for the community while also addressing the potential hazards associated with the structure. Enthusiasts in the water resource and climate sectors would find interest in monitoring the progress and safety measures taken for this dam, as it has the potential to contribute positively to the local environment and economy once fully operational.

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.
