Eioelweiss Dam dam
Eioelweiss Dam
Eioelweiss Dam, also known as Innsbrook Dam #3, is a privately-owned structure located in Warren, Missouri, along the TR Charrette Creek. Completed in 1986, this earth dam stands at a height of 41 feet and has a length of 290 feet. It serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, providing a serene environment for outdoor activities.
Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, Eioelweiss Dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2007. Despite the moderate risk level associated with the dam, it has been inspected regularly, with the last inspection taking place in November 2013. With no outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway type, the structure has been designed to withstand potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding areas.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will appreciate the important role of Eioelweiss Dam in providing recreational opportunities while also being mindful of its regulatory oversight and maintenance to mitigate risks. The dam's presence along the TR Charrette Creek adds to the natural beauty of the area, offering a peaceful retreat for visitors to enjoy outdoor activities in a safe and well-maintained environment.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Eioelweiss Dam
Where does the data for Eioelweiss Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
