Summary
Site 002-1 is a Grade Stabilization dam located in Dawn, Missouri, along the TR-GOOSE CREEK. Built in 1978, this Earth dam stands at 28 feet high and spans 560 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of Grade Stabilization and is owned by the local government.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, the dam at Caldwell Co. Site 002-1 is considered to have a moderate risk level. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place and its condition assessment is currently not rated. With a drainage area of 160 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 320 cubic feet per second, there is a need for further evaluation and risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community.
The dam at Caldwell Co. Site 002-1, under the jurisdiction of the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. With its uncontrolled spillway and stone core, the dam serves as a vital structure for flood control and water storage. As climate change continues to impact the region, maintaining and monitoring the dam's integrity will be essential for protecting the local community and ensuring sustainable water resource management in Caldwell County, Missouri.

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.
