Summary
With a height of 26.1 feet and a hydraulic height of 22 feet, this pond has a storage capacity of 32 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3.3 acres. Situated along the Chariton River, Aljundi Pond plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region and mitigating the risk of flooding, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite its low hazard potential, Aljundi Pond serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the area, with a maximum discharge rate of 20.6 cubic feet per second. The uncontrolled spillway type and stone core foundation contribute to the structural integrity of the dam, ensuring its functionality in times of need. While the pond's condition remains unrated and its emergency action plan status is unknown, its presence reflects the ongoing efforts to safeguard the community from potential water-related hazards.
Located within the Kansas City District and overseen by the primary source agency in Missouri, Aljundi Pond stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience. As a focal point for grade stabilization and water storage, this earth dam structure plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities. With a focus on risk assessment and management, Aljundi Pond exemplifies the intersection of infrastructure development, environmental protection, and climate adaptation in the face of changing weather patterns.

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.
