Res. is a private water resource located in Missouri, specifically in Monroe County near the city of Louisiana. This dam, completed in 1976, serves multiple purposes including fish and wildlife pond, irrigation, and recreation. With a dam height of 22 feet and a storage capacity of 202 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in maintaining water levels for various activities in the area.
The structure, primarily made of earth and stone, spans 1300 feet and has a spillway width of 10 feet. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Roger O'Bannon Irr. Res. is considered moderate. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, the dam continues to support the local ecosystem and water needs in the region. With a drainage area of 333 acres and a surface area of 7 acres, this reservoir contributes to water conservation efforts and supports the surrounding environment.
Overall, Roger O'Bannon Irr. Res. stands as a testament to the careful balance between water resource management and climate conservation. As an integral part of the local landscape, it provides essential services for fish and wildlife while also offering recreational opportunities for residents.

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.
