Summary

Reservoir, located in Monroe County, Missouri, serves as a vital resource for fish and wildlife conservation, grade stabilization, and irrigation purposes. Constructed in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 181 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 2 acres and is fed by the TR-OTTER CREEK, providing a critical source of water for the surrounding area.

Managed privately, David Charlick Irr. Reservoir has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed for its condition. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the reservoir has not been inspected in recent years, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity. With a spillway width of 48 feet and a maximum discharge of 388 cubic feet per second, the reservoir plays a crucial role in flood control and water management in the region.

While the reservoir does not fall under federal jurisdiction, its strategic location in the St. Louis District makes it a significant water resource for the local ecosystem. With its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife habitats, David Charlick Irr. Reservoir stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in maintaining ecological balance and preserving natural resources for future generations.

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.
