Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 51, located in Harrisburg, Missouri, was constructed in 2002 by the USDA NRCS with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Moniteau Creek.
This earth dam stands at a height of 24.4 feet, with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a structural height of 30 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. The dam spans 540 feet in length and covers a drainage area of 230 acres, offering protection against a maximum discharge of 175.1 cubic feet per second.
Despite being uncontrolled, the dam's spillway width of 20 feet and low hazard potential make it a vital asset for mitigating flood risks in the region. With a moderate risk assessment rating and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the Moniteau Creek WS Dam M- 51 plays a crucial role in safeguarding the community against potential flood events. As a local government-owned structure, its construction and maintenance are overseen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in Howard County, Missouri.
