is a private earth dam located on Bee Creek in Buchanan County, Missouri. Built in 1997 for grade stabilization purposes, this 35-foot tall structure spans 257 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its condition assessment being "not rated" and lacking an emergency action plan.
Owned privately, Steve Pierce Str. is not regulated by the state, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement required. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 32 feet, and there are no outlet gates or associated structures. While the risk assessment deems the structure to have moderate risk, there is no detailed risk management plan in place, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in case of emergencies. Overall, Steve Pierce Str. serves as a notable feature in the local water resource infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring for climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates.
