Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a structural height of 34 feet, spanning a length of 390 feet. With a capacity of 115 acre-feet and a drainage area of 166.4 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing floodwaters and protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation.
Despite its low hazard potential, Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 84 is rated as having a moderate risk level, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 40 feet and outlet gates that are also uncontrolled. While it is not regulated by the state or subject to permitting, inspection, or enforcement, the dam remains a key component in the flood risk reduction strategy for the area. With a focus on its primary purpose of flood risk reduction, this structure continues to provide essential protection for the community and surrounding lands.
Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 84 serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government and federal agencies in safeguarding the region against potential flooding events. While its condition is currently not rated, the dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service ensure its reliability and effectiveness in managing water flow. As climate change continues to impact the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, structures like Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 84 play a crucial role in mitigating the risks and protecting communities from the devastating effects of flooding.

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.
