Summary
The dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a length of 725 feet, providing a storage capacity of 185 acre-feet for irrigation purposes. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment score of 3, Fashing serves as a valuable water resource in the region.
Despite not being regulated or inspected by the state, Fashing plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the area. The dam's earth and stone construction, along with its uncontrolled spillway, contribute to its functionality for water management. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam is deemed to be in a stable condition, ready to serve its purpose effectively.
As a part of the St. Louis District, Fashing contributes to the local ecosystem by providing water storage for irrigation and other agricultural needs. With its strategic location and moderate risk level, Fashing stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management in Missouri, catering to the needs of the community while minimizing potential hazards.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
