Tweedie Farms Lake Dam dam
Tweedie Farms Lake Dam
Tweedie Farms Lake Dam is a privately-owned structure located in Carrollton, Missouri, along the TR-WAKENDA CREEK. Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 540 feet in length, creating a fish and wildlife pond with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of serving as a recreational spot for fishing and wildlife observation, this dam also offers grade stabilization and fire protection benefits to the surrounding area.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam has a moderate risk assessment, indicating potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with no recent inspection data available. While there are no outlet gates or locks associated with the structure, it does have an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 20 feet. The dam's surrounding area covers 8 acres with a drainage area of 320 acres, making it an important feature in the local ecosystem.
Overall, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam plays a crucial role in supporting fish and wildlife populations in the region and providing recreational opportunities for the community. As a privately-owned structure, it falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Missouri, with no federal involvement in its management or regulation. With its scenic location and diverse purposes, Tweedie Farms Lake Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in maintaining a healthy ecosystem for future generations.

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 Tweedie Farms Lake Dam
Where does the data for Tweedie Farms 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.
