Summary
Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a hydraulic height of 16 feet, providing crucial protection for the surrounding area. With a normal storage capacity of 29 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 109 acre-feet, the dam serves to safeguard against potential flooding events in the region.
This low-hazard potential dam boasts an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet, ensuring effective water release during times of high flow. With a drainage area of 425 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 99 cubic feet per second, the Moniteau Creek WS Dam M-101 plays a vital role in managing water levels and mitigating flood risks in the area. Its strategic location and sturdy design make it a reliable asset for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Randolph County, Missouri.
Despite its low hazard potential, this dam is subject to regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a moderate risk rating, the Moniteau Creek WS Dam M-101 stands as a testament to the proactive measures taken by local government agencies, such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service, to protect communities and infrastructure from the impacts of extreme weather events and rising water levels.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
