This private dam, primarily constructed of earth with buttress core types, reaches a height of 34 feet and has a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. While the dam's purpose and completion year remain unspecified, its critical role in water resource management is evident through its high hazard potential and lack of recent condition assessment.
Despite being uninspected since 1996, Milner Lake Dam continues to serve as a key component in flood control and water storage within the region. With a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 26 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow along the Meramec River. Despite its high hazard potential and lack of recent inspections, Milner Lake Dam remains an essential structure for both water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and understand in the broader context of dam safety and infrastructure resilience.
