Completed in 1986, this earth dam stands at a height of 41 feet and stretches 340 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. With a normal storage capacity of 56 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 72 acre-feet, Seebrook Dam is situated along the TR Charrette Creek, within the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This dam, regulated by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, poses a high hazard potential due to its location and structure. However, it has been assessed as satisfactory in condition, with the last inspection conducted in February 2017. Despite its moderate risk assessment, Seebrook Dam has not had any emergency action plans (EAP) prepared or updated recently, raising concerns about its readiness for potential emergencies. With a drainage area of 32 square miles and a surface area of 4 acres, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 156 cubic feet per second.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Seebrook Dam offers a fascinating case study in private dam ownership and the management of recreational water resources. With its unique design and location along the TR Charrette Creek, this dam serves as a vital asset for the surrounding community of Innsbrook. However, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure the safety and sustainability of this structure in the face of changing environmental conditions and potential hazards.
