This earth dam, with a height of 20 feet and a length of 600 feet, impounds the waters of TR-WOLF CREEK, creating a surface area of 4 acres and a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam is not currently regulated or inspected by the state authorities.
Owned privately, Johnson's Lake Dam remains unregulated by the state of Missouri, with no enforcement or permitting requirements in place. With its uncontrolled spillway and absence of outlet gates, the dam presents a low hazard potential and is rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. While the dam's risk assessment is moderate, there is no emergency action plan prepared or updated for the structure, raising concerns among water resource and climate enthusiasts about the potential risks associated with this unregulated dam.
