Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24 dam
Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24
Located in Lafayette, Missouri, the Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24, also known as Tabo Creek Watershed Site C-24 Dam, was completed in 1962 by the USDA NRCS. This earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans 765 feet, with a primary purpose of grade stabilization in the TR-Garrison Fork river system. With a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet and a drainage area of 170 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
The Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24 is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam serves an essential function in controlling water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding. With its uncontrolled spillway and stone core construction, the dam is designed to withstand the hydraulic forces of the TR-Garrison Fork river, ensuring the safety and stability of the structure for years to come. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam represents a significant infrastructure project that contributes to the overall management of water resources in Missouri.
As a local government-owned structure, the Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24 is a testament to the collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region. With its strategic location and design, the dam serves as a vital component in the overall water management system, highlighting the importance of proactive measures in mitigating potential risks and ensuring the long-term resilience of water infrastructure. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate adaptation, the Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24 is a compelling example of sustainable infrastructure development in response to changing environmental conditions.

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 Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24
Where does the data for Tabo Creek Watershed Dam C-24 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.
