Standing at 29 feet tall with a length of 332 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 23 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 262.4 square miles. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam is currently not rated for its condition, but it meets all regulatory requirements in the state of Missouri.
Despite not being state regulated, inspected, or enforced, Ingells & Ervin Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating the risk of floods in the area. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet and no outlet gates. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is important for enthusiasts of water resources and climate to monitor its condition and ensure that it continues to function effectively for grade stabilization and flood control purposes. With its strategic location in PARNELL and a surface area of 2 acres, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water management in the region.
