Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1 dam
Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1
Located in Grundy County, Missouri, Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1, also known as County Line Structure, is a local government-owned earth dam primarily used for grade stabilization along the TR-Weldon River. Completed in 1978, this 25-foot tall structure spans 480 feet in length and has a drainage area of 300 acres. With a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, the dam serves the purpose of regulating water flow and preventing erosion in the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, this dam has been classified as having a high risk level, warranting attention for risk management measures. The structure, made of stone core and soil foundation, currently holds a "Not Rated" condition assessment. While it does not have a spillway, outlet gates, or locks, it is essential for maintaining the water levels and flow in the region. As the only dam on the TR-Weldon River, its strategic location and functions make it a critical piece of infrastructure for water resource management in the area.
Managed by the Rock Island District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1 is integral for maintaining the ecological balance and water quality of the surrounding environment. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the proper maintenance and upkeep of this dam are crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the watershed. With a focus on risk assessment and management, this structure plays a vital role in mitigating potential hazards and ensuring the continued resilience of the local water supply.
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 Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1
Where does the data for Wash Twp Site Ca-29-6003-129-010-1 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.
