Summary

With a height of 64 feet and a length of 700 feet, this significant structure has a storage capacity of 1279 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 50 acres. The dam regulates Labidie Creek's flow, providing a picturesque setting for outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming.

Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG, an agency in Missouri, Lake Stingray Dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2007. The dam has a spillway width of 0 feet and a hazard potential labeled as significant. Despite its age, the dam continues to be inspected, regulated, and enforced by state authorities to ensure public safety and water resource management. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil surroundings while appreciating the dam's role in flood control and recreational opportunities.

Situated within the Kansas City District, Lake Stingray Dam serves as a vital recreational hub in the region, attracting visitors from near and far. The dam's designer names are unspecified, but its core type is classified as buttress. As climate change impacts water resources, Lake Stingray Dam stands as a testament to responsible dam construction and management practices. With its stunning views and essential role in water conservation, Lake Stingray Dam remains a must-visit destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.

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.
