Summary
Charles, Missouri, is a privately owned earth dam that was completed in 2001. Standing at a height of 57 feet with a hydraulic height of 50 feet, this structure has a storage capacity of 527 acre-feet and a drainage area of 399 acres. The dam serves the primary purpose of water resource management in the region, providing a normal storage capacity of 417 acre-feet and an impressive surface area of 25 acres.
Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri, Khani Dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a hazard potential classified as 'High', the dam has been assessed as 'Satisfactory' in condition as of December 2007. Emergency action plans are in place, although details on their preparedness and compliance with guidelines are not specified in the available data. Despite some uncertainties surrounding its management and risk assessment, Khani Dam remains a vital component of the local water infrastructure, contributing to flood control, water storage, and environmental conservation efforts in the area.
Overall, Khani Dam stands as a significant landmark in the water resource management landscape of Missouri, providing essential services for the region while facing challenges typical of dam structures. Its completion in 2001 marked a milestone in water infrastructure development, and its ongoing maintenance and inspection reflect a commitment to ensuring the safety and functionality of this crucial asset. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Khani Dam is a subject of interest and study, showcasing the intersection of engineering, environmental management, and regulatory oversight in the realm of water infrastructure.

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.
