Summary
Completed in 2006, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 113.7 acre-feet. The primary purpose of the dam is flood risk reduction, but it also serves other functions such as fire protection and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife.
Situated on the TR-East Locust Creek, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is considered to be in good condition, although it has not been formally rated. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam serves as a key infrastructure for the local government of Browning, Missouri, in safeguarding the community from potential flooding events.
With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, East Locust Creek Watershed Dam E-107 ensures effective water discharge during times of excess flow. While it has not been inspected recently, the dam remains a critical asset for flood control and ecosystem management in the area. Its strategic location and design make it a valuable resource for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable infrastructure development and disaster risk reduction.

Dam Data Reference
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.
