Mononame 662 dam
Mononame 662
Mononame 662 is a privately owned earth dam located in Knob Lick, Missouri, along the TR Wachita Creek. Constructed in 1960, this recreational structure stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet. With a surface area of 28 acres and a drainage area of 25 acres, this dam serves as a low hazard potential water resource for the surrounding area.
Although Mononame 662 is not regulated by the state and has not been inspected or rated for its condition, it continues to provide recreational opportunities for the community. With its primary purpose being defined as recreation, this dam offers a peaceful retreat for water and climate enthusiasts to enjoy the outdoors. While the dam's emergency preparedness measures have not been fully documented, its low hazard potential suggests a relatively low risk to the area.
Despite the lack of formal assessments and regulatory oversight, Mononame 662 remains a valuable resource for the community, offering a tranquil environment for recreational activities. Its location in St. Francois County, Missouri, and proximity to the St. Louis District make it a convenient destination for those seeking to connect with nature and enjoy water-based activities. As efforts to enhance the dam's safety and emergency preparedness continue, this structure will likely remain a beloved spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
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 Mononame 662
Where does the data for Mononame 662 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.
