Pipes 001 dam
Pipes 001
Located in Reger, Missouri, Pipes 001 is a privately owned Earth dam constructed in 1979 for the primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. 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.

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 Pipes 001
Where does the data for Pipes 001 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.
