Oakmont Resort Dam dam
Oakmont Resort Dam
Nestled in the heart of Taney, Missouri, the Oakmont Resort Dam stands as a testament to private ownership and commitment to water resource management. With a primary purpose classified as "Other," this earth dam with buttress core types boasts a height of 34 feet and a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and "Not Rated" condition assessment, the Oakmont Resort Dam serves as a vital component in the local water infrastructure, with a normal storage capacity of 15 acre-feet and a drainage area of 20 acres.
Managed by the Little Rock District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Oakmont Resort Dam not only provides essential water storage and flood control functions but also contributes to the overall environmental sustainability of the region. With a strategic location at a latitude of 36.5347378 and longitude of -93.27482486, this dam plays a crucial role in managing surface water resources for the surrounding area. As a private-owned facility, the Oakmont Resort Dam exemplifies the importance of collaboration between public and private entities in ensuring the efficient and effective management of water resources.
While the Oakmont Resort Dam may not be subject to state regulation or inspection, its significance in the local water management landscape cannot be understated. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to advocate for sustainable water infrastructure development, the Oakmont Resort Dam serves as a beacon of private stewardship in safeguarding water resources for current and future generations. With its moderate storage capacity, low hazard potential, and strategic location, the Oakmont Resort Dam stands as a testament to the importance of private ownership in water resource management and climate resilience.
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 Oakmont Resort Dam
Where does the data for Oakmont Resort 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.
