National Dam Safety Program. Perry City Dam Number 2 (MO 10980), Mississippi - Salt - Quincy River Basin, ralls County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Perry City Dam No. 2 is located in Ralls County in the State of Missouri, and crosses the Mace Branch tributary of Lick Creek. The dam was constructed in 1964 to create an impoundment for additional water supply for the City of Perry, Missouri. The top of the dam and the upper exposed slopes of the embankment have a grass cover that adequately protects the embankment slopes have no riprap protection and are, consequently, eroded by wave action in the respective reservoirs. Nearly vertical faces up to 3 feet high are exposed. The dam has never been overtopped and no evidence indicating the contrary was observed. Both embankment slopes had large to intermediate-sized trees and bushes growing at or near the water surfaces. The left downstream abutment area inside of the emergency spillway area is low-lying and covered with tall grasses.
