Pomme De Terre Dam, located in Hickory County, Missouri, is a key structure managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers for flood risk reduction along the Pomme De Terre River. Completed in 1961, this rockfill dam stands at a hydraulic height of 155 feet and has a total storage capacity of 650,000 acre-feet. While primarily serving flood risk reduction purposes, the dam also supports fish and wildlife ponds, recreation, and water supply activities in the region.

With a high hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected and monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers to ensure its structural integrity and operational readiness. The agency implements risk management measures to address potential flood risks associated with the dam, engaging with local emergency managers and the public to raise awareness and prepare for potential emergencies. Despite the inherent risks of flooding, the USACE works diligently to maintain the dam's functionality and safety, emphasizing the importance of proactive maintenance and emergency preparedness to mitigate potential risks.
