Summary

Completed in 1980, this dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a structural height of 23 feet, with a length of 540 feet. It has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet and serves to stabilize the surrounding area while also providing flood protection.

The dam, situated on TR-Durgens Creek, is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment. With a maximum discharge of 120 cubic feet per second and an uncontrolled spillway type, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. Despite not being state regulated, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure in the watershed, contributing to the overall management and conservation of water resources in the area.

While the dam is not currently rated in terms of condition assessment, its strategic location and purpose make it an essential component of the watershed ecosystem. With its stone core and soil foundation, Durgens Creek Watershed Dam Lts-102 stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Missouri.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
