Summary

Designed for fire protection, stock, or small fish pond purposes, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet with a structural height of 33 feet and a length of 425 feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, with a maximum discharge of 46.4 cubic feet per second and a drainage area of 185 acres.

The dam's primary source agency is the state of Missouri, and it is not regulated or inspected by state authorities. With a spillway type of uncontrolled and an uncontrolled outlet gate, Roy Flint Dam has a normal storage capacity of 15 acre-feet and a total storage capacity of 23 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Allen Creek and serves as a vital resource for water management in the area, offering essential benefits for fire protection and livestock.

Despite its low hazard potential, Roy Flint Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, providing storage capacity for up to 23 acre-feet of water. With its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves as a valuable asset for maintaining water supply for fire protection and agricultural needs in Scotland County, Missouri. Its construction in 2001 underscores the commitment to sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the area.

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.
