102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52 dam
102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52
Located in Nodaway, Missouri, the 102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52 was completed in 1976 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a vital structure for grade stabilization along the TR-102 River. This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a length of 450 feet, providing storage for a maximum of 41 acre-feet of water and covering a surface area of 5.2 acres. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite being state-regulated and not subject to inspections or enforcement, the 102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52 serves as an essential component of the water infrastructure in the area, helping to control the flow of the TR-102 River and prevent erosion through grade stabilization. With an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, this dam contributes to the overall management of water resources in Kansas City District, Missouri. Although its condition is not rated, the dam's design and purpose align with the needs of the local community and environment.
Supported by federal funding and designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the 102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52 stands as a reminder of the importance of water resource management and climate resilience. With a history of service dating back to the mid-1970s, this earth dam continues to play a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources for future generations of Missourians.

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 102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52
Where does the data for 102 River Tributaries Dam Lt-52 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.
