Summary
This dam, standing at a height of 34 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet, plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock, recreation, and grade stabilization in addition to its primary purpose. With a storage capacity of 27 acre-feet and a drainage area of 57.6 square miles, Pipes 001 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
Situated on TR-EAST LOCUST CREEK in Putnam County, Missouri, Pipes 001 spans 347 feet in length and offers a surface area of 1 acre for various activities. Despite being privately owned, this dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, making it a unique structure in terms of operation and maintenance. With a spillway type of "Uncontrolled" and a spillway width of 10 feet, Pipes 001 stands as a testament to efficient water resource management for fish and wildlife conservation while providing recreational opportunities for the local community.
Managed by its private owner, Pipes 001 has not been rated for its condition assessment and lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparedness. However, with a moderate risk assessment, this Earth dam continues to serve its purpose effectively. As a key component in the conservation efforts for fish and wildlife in the region, Pipes 001 stands as a symbol of responsible water infrastructure development in the midst of a changing climate landscape.

Dam Data Reference
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.
