Oran 25 Club Dam dam
Oran 25 Club Dam
Oran 25 Club Dam, located in Scott County, Missouri, was completed in 1954 for the primary purpose of recreation. This privately-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 118 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet. Although the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential, its condition has not been officially rated.
Situated on TR-CANEY CREEK, Oran 25 Club Dam provides a surface area of 10 acres and serves a drainage area of 58 square miles. Despite not being under state regulation or permitting, the dam remains an important recreational site in the region, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities. The dam's unique buttress core structure and unlisted/unknown foundation add to its character and appeal for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
With its picturesque location and historical significance, Oran 25 Club Dam continues to attract visitors and locals alike. While its maintenance and inspection schedules are currently not publicly documented, efforts are likely in place to ensure the safety and integrity of this key water resource feature. For those interested in exploring the intersection of water management and recreational opportunities, Oran 25 Club Dam presents a fascinating case study in private dam ownership and operation.

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.

About Oran 25 Club Dam
Where does the data for Oran 25 Club 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.
