Univ Of Mo-R1 Dam dam
Univ Of Mo-R1 Dam
Univ of Mo-R1 Dam, located in Boone, Missouri, serves multiple purposes including debris control, irrigation, and recreation along the TR GANS CREEK. Built in 1959, this earth dam with a structural height of 18 feet provides a maximum storage capacity of 116 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam covers a surface area of 12 acres and has a drainage area of 140 square miles.
Owned by the state of Missouri, Univ of Mo-R1 Dam is designated as a high hazard potential structure with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Despite not being regulated by the state or having a state inspection, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding. With its primary purpose being debris control, the dam stands as a vital infrastructure for the community of WILTON and nearby regions.
While specific details about the dam's inspection frequency, emergency action plan, and risk assessment are not provided in the data, Univ of Mo-R1 Dam remains an essential component of the water management system in Missouri. As a key feature in the St. Louis District, the dam contributes to the overall environmental sustainability and climate resilience of the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of this structure in safeguarding communities and supporting various water-related activities.

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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Univ Of Mo-R1 Dam
Where does the data for Univ Of Mo-R1 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 High 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.
