This earth dam, with buttress and stone core types, stands at a height of 40 feet and spans 970 feet in length. The dam has a storage capacity of 314 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of managing water from an unnamed tributary of Dry Fork. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1,678 cubic feet per second and a spillway width of 50 feet, the dam is equipped to handle high hazard potential.
This dam, regulated by the Dam and Reservoir Safety Program in Missouri, has a satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2010. Despite its high hazard potential, the risk assessment for White-Boveri Dam is moderate, with a rating of 3. The last inspection conducted in August 2016 indicated a need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the dam. In case of emergencies, an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is in place, though it is unclear if it meets current guidelines. As a vital structure in the region, White-Boveri Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts.
