Terbrock Lake Dam dam
Terbrock Lake Dam
Terbrock Lake Dam in Missouri, completed in 1972, serves as a key recreational spot in the area, providing a serene escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Situated on the TR-West Fork Cuivre River, this private Earth dam stands at a structural height of 20 feet, with a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. The dam's low hazard potential and not rated condition assessment make it a safe and stable structure for visitors to enjoy.
With a surface area of 8 acres and a drainage area of 1050 acres, Terbrock Lake Dam offers ample space for outdoor activities and wildlife habitat. While lacking specific spillway details, the dam's primary purpose of recreation attracts locals and tourists alike to its peaceful surroundings. The dam's close proximity to Moscow Mills in Lincoln County, Missouri, further enhances its accessibility and appeal for nature lovers seeking a tranquil waterfront setting.
Managed by a private owner, Terbrock Lake Dam remains a well-maintained site, with regular inspections ensuring its safety and longevity. Although not regulated by the state, the dam continues to provide valuable recreational opportunities and natural beauty for those who appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate dynamics in an outdoor setting.
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 Terbrock Lake Dam
Where does the data for Terbrock Lake Dam 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.
