Harry Mullock Dam dam
Harry Mullock Dam
Harry Mullock Dam, located in Worth, Missouri, is a privately owned structure built in 1991 for the primary purpose of grade stabilization along the TR-"X" Branch river or stream. This earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a length of 200 feet, providing a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 174 square miles. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for condition assessment.
With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, Harry Mullock Dam is a key feature in the local landscape, ensuring water resource management and flood control in the area. While it does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the surrounding environment. The dam's design, primarily consisting of earth and stone core materials, reflects its functionality in managing water flow and preventing erosion along the riverbank.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering and environmental significance of Harry Mullock Dam, as it represents a vital infrastructure for water management in the region. The dam's construction and purpose highlight the importance of sustainable development and stewardship of natural resources, ensuring the safety and well-being of the local community. As a low-risk structure with a moderate risk assessment, Harry Mullock Dam stands as a testament to effective dam management practices and serves as a valuable asset for water resource enthusiasts and environmental advocates alike.

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 Harry Mullock Dam
Where does the data for Harry Mullock 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.
