Stormwater Management Dam dam
Stormwater Management Dam
Located in Clarksville, Missouri, the Stormwater Management Dam is a privately owned structure designed by LEGGETTE, BRASHEARS & GRAHAM, INC. The dam, completed in 2007, serves primarily for flood risk reduction along Calumet Creek. With a height of 83 feet and a length of 1411 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 294 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 21 acres. It is regulated by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG in Missouri, ensuring that it meets all state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements.
The Stormwater Management Dam is classified as an Earth dam with a stone core and is built on rock and soil foundations. It has a low hazard potential and is rated as being in satisfactory condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a maximum discharge capacity of 130 cubic feet per second. Despite its moderate risk rating, the dam is well-managed and monitored, with regular inspections to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the area.
Overall, the Stormwater Management Dam plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction along Calumet Creek in Pike County, Missouri. With its strategic location and design, the dam effectively manages stormwater runoff and protects the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Its efficient operation and compliance with state regulations demonstrate its importance in maintaining water resource sustainability and climate resilience in the region.

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 Stormwater Management Dam
Where does the data for Stormwater Management 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.
