National Dam Safety Program. Hagan Lake Dam (MO 11057), Missouri - Kansas City River Basin, Boone County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Hagan Lake Dam is located in Boone County of the State of Missouri on an unnamed tributary of the Hominy Branch of Hinkson Creek. Hagan Lake Dam impounds water for recreational and aesthetic purposes. The top of the dam supports a road which has recently been used as a construction haul road; a gravel and dirt surface appears to have been added recently. The surfacing appeared to be less than 6 inches thick. The top of the dam was repaired recently, when ruts were formed due to heavy construction equipment traffic, according to Mr. Hagan. No tire ruts or depressions which are sometimes associated with vehicular traffic across earthen structures were observed at the time of the inspection, however. No depressions indicating a settlement of the dam were observed. The variation in elevation along the top of the dam did not appear to be due to an instability of the embankment. The dam was most likely constructed this way. No deviation in the horizontal alignment was apparent, other than the curve in the alignment as originally constructed. No major cracking was observed on the top of dam. Some minor shrinkage cracks were observed.
