Schultz Farms Dam dam
Schultz Farms Dam
Schultz Farms Dam in Gentry, Missouri, serves multiple purposes including grade stabilization, recreation, and water supply. Constructed in 2000 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans a length of 623 feet, providing a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet. Located on the TR-Platte River, this dam is designed for low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment rating.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 35 feet and has a drainage area of 170 square miles. While the dam is not state-regulated, it is owned privately and sits within the jurisdiction of Missouri. With a condition assessment of "Not Rated" and a risk management plan in place, Schultz Farms Dam is a significant structure in the Rock Island District. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the unique design and multiple functions of this dam in the heart of Conception Junction.
With its strategic location and vital role in the local ecosystem, Schultz Farms Dam stands as a testament to the collaboration between private owners and federal agencies in ensuring water resource management and environmental sustainability. As a popular spot for recreation and a reliable source of water supply, this dam showcases the importance of effective infrastructure in maintaining the balance between human needs and environmental conservation. For those passionate about water resources and climate resilience, Schultz Farms Dam is a captivating example of innovative engineering and responsible stewardship in the heart of Missouri.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Schultz Farms Dam
Where does the data for Schultz Farms Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
