Summary

Constructed in 2001 by the USDA NRCS, this private earth dam has a height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 24 feet, with a structural height of 31 feet. With a capacity of 39 acre-feet and a normal storage of 27 acre-feet, the dam spans 300 feet in length and covers a surface area of 2 acres. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway width is 10 feet and the maximum discharge capacity is 6.8 cubic feet per second.

The Jeff Emanual Dam, situated along the TR-EAST FORK CHARITON RIVER, falls under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District and is managed by private owners. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam has not been inspected since its completion in 2001. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unknown. Operated as an uncontrolled structure, the dam's design and construction were funded by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, with no federal agency involvement in its operations or regulatory oversight.

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.
