Summary
Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 540 feet in length, creating a fish and wildlife pond with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of serving as a recreational spot for fishing and wildlife observation, this dam also offers grade stabilization and fire protection benefits to the surrounding area.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam has a moderate risk assessment, indicating potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with no recent inspection data available. While there are no outlet gates or locks associated with the structure, it does have an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet. The dam's surrounding area covers 8 acres with a drainage area of 320 acres, making it an important feature in the local ecosystem.
Overall, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam plays a crucial role in supporting fish and wildlife populations in the region and providing recreational opportunities for the community. As a privately-owned structure, it falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri, with no federal involvement in its management or regulation. With its scenic location and diverse purposes, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in maintaining a healthy ecosystem for future generations.

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.
