Summary

This private earth dam, completed in 1985, stands at a height of 29 feet and stretches 290 feet in length. With a maximum storage capacity of 44 acre-feet and a normal storage of 19 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, covering a drainage area of 25.6 square miles.

Despite being categorized with a low hazard potential, Dudeck Dam is subject to moderate risks according to assessments. With a spillway width of 26 feet, the dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway. However, lacking outlet gates, the structure has not undergone condition assessments and is currently rated as "Not Rated." While the dam has not been evaluated for Emergency Action Plans (EAP), it remains a key feature in the region's water management infrastructure.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts would appreciate Dudeck Dam's contribution to grade stabilization along the Carroll Branch in Missouri. The dam, although not state-regulated, plays a crucial role in managing water resources with its moderate risk assessment and low hazard potential. As a private earth dam completed in 1985, Dudeck Dam's storage capacity and spillway design highlight its significance in maintaining water levels and ensuring the safety of surrounding areas.

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.
