Summary

This earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet, with a hydraulic height and structural height of 27 and 31 feet, respectively. With a total length of 420 feet and a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet, the dam plays a significant role in managing water levels in the Moniteau Creek watershed.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 92 has not been formally assessed for condition or emergency action planning. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates suggest a reliance on natural water flow control mechanisms. The structure's purpose primarily focuses on flood risk reduction, with a drainage area of 215 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 131 cubic feet per second.

Overall, Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 92 stands as a testament to local government efforts in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, continued monitoring and assessment of its performance are crucial to ensuring the safety and resilience of the surrounding community in Rochport, Missouri.

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.
