Summary
Constructed in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 400 feet, with a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-North Fork river, the dam's primary purpose is to support fire protection, stock, small fish pond, grade stabilization, and recreational activities.
Despite being privately owned, the dam plays a crucial role in enhancing the surrounding ecosystem and providing a habitat for various species. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition is not currently rated, but it remains an essential structure for water resource management in the area. While it lacks certain regulatory oversight and inspection, the Roland & Klofenstein Farm Dam continues to be a valuable asset for both local wildlife and the community in Hannibal.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like the Roland & Klofenstein Farm Dam are becoming increasingly important for maintaining ecological balance and preserving natural habitats. With its strategic location and design, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and government agencies to ensure the sustainability of water resources and wildlife conservation in 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.
