Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth dam
Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth
Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth, located in Montgomery, Missouri, is a state-owned recreational dam built in 1960 with a primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities. The dam, made of earth with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 195 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Little Loutre Creek, this dam covers a surface area of 14 acres and drains a 140-acre watershed.
Despite its low hazard potential, Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, and there is no emergency action plan in place. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers. With its serene location and tranquil waters, this dam offers a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of Missouri's natural landscapes.
While Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth may not be the most structurally complex dam, its importance lies in its contribution to the recreation and conservation efforts in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial to monitor and maintain dams like this to ensure their safety and longevity. As a focal point for wildlife and nature lovers, this dam serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human activity and environmental preservation in the face of a changing climate.
Dam data reference
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 Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth
Where does the data for Marshall Diggs Wildlife Area Dam Nrth 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.
