Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam dam
Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam
Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam, located in Troy, Missouri, serves as a crucial structure for grade stabilization along the West Fork Quivre River. Built in 1986, this earth dam stands at 33 feet in height and stretches 354 feet in length, with a primary purpose of grade stabilization. With a normal storage capacity of 184 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 224 acre-feet, this dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being privately owned, Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam is not regulated by the state and has a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 24 feet and has no outlet gates. While it has not been rated for its condition assessment, the dam is deemed to be in a satisfactory state. With its strategic location and design, this dam contributes to the overall water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Lincoln County, Missouri.
In the realm of water resource and climate management, Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam stands as a notable infrastructure for grade stabilization along the West Fork Quivre River. Its construction in 1986 and subsequent maintenance have ensured its functionality in managing water levels and mitigating flood risks. With a focus on sustainability and effective water resource utilization, this earth dam serves as a valuable asset in the region's infrastructure landscape, contributing to the overall resilience and adaptability in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam
Where does the data for Charles Geno Farm Pond Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
