Summary

Completed in 1998, the dam has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of water resource management. It is situated on the TRIB Lost Creek, within the St. Louis District of Missouri.

Despite not being regulated by the state, Wildhorse Farms #1 Dam has a significant hazard potential and is considered not rated in terms of condition assessment. The dam has a drainage area of 31 square miles and a surface area of 3 acres. While the dam does not have a spillway, its maximum storage capacity is 60 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. The last inspection of the dam took place in October 2005, with an inspection frequency of 0.

Although Wildhorse Farms #1 Dam may not be as well-known as other dams, its importance in managing water resources and mitigating potential hazards cannot be understated. As a vital part of the local infrastructure, it plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of the surrounding community, making it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and learn more about.

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. 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

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, 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.
