Summary

Built in 2005 by USDA NRCS, the dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a structural height of 34 feet, spanning a length of 367 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 50.35 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 35.25 acre-feet, the dam serves to mitigate erosion and stabilize the surrounding landscape.

Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, Kopmann Farms INC Dam plays a crucial role in managing surface water resources in the area. The dam boasts an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with a moderate risk rating of 3. Its proximity to the St. Louis District and Franklin County underscores its significance in water resource management and flood control. The dam's strategic location and design contribute to its effectiveness in protecting the environment and enhancing water quality in the region.

With its impressive design and functionality, Kopmann Farms INC Dam stands as a testament to sustainable water management practices. Its collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Service highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in achieving water conservation goals. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like Kopmann Farms INC play a vital role in ensuring the resilience of ecosystems and communities in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
