Hubbartt Dam dam
Hubbartt Dam
Hubbartt Dam, located in Schuyler County, Missouri, serves as a crucial structure for grade stabilization along the TR-NO FK MIDDLE FABIUS R river. Built in 1992, this private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and stretches 323 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a drainage area of 300 acres. The dam's primary purpose is to prevent erosion and maintain stability in the surrounding area, making it an essential asset for water resource management in the region.
Despite its relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Hubbartt Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet and has no outlet gates or associated structures. While the dam has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance updates, it remains a key infrastructure for water management in the Kansas City District. With its strategic location and design, Hubbartt Dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the local ecosystem and ensuring the efficient flow of water resources in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hubbartt Dam represents a notable example of earth dam construction for grade stabilization purposes. Situated in a picturesque setting in Taylor, Missouri, this dam showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term efficiency and safety. As a critical infrastructure in the region, Hubbartt Dam serves as a reminder of the intricate balance between human development and environmental conservation in water resource management.

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 Hubbartt Dam
Where does the data for Hubbartt 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.
