National Dam Safety Program. Mine La Motte Dam (MO 30289), Lower Mississippi - St. Francis Basin, Madison County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Mine LaMotte Dam is located approximately 1 mile northeast of Mine LaMotte, Missouri, on an unnamed tributary to the St. Francois River. Mine LaMotte Dam is used for recreation. The visual inspection revealed that the earth embankment is in poor condition. Both the upstream and downstream slope are very steep. The upstream slope has recently had additional material end dumped on the slope and thus shows signs of instability. The downstream slope is covered with a thick growth of trees. Seepage is exiting from one portion of the downstream slope near the reservoir water level. In addition, seepage and ponded water is present at the toe of the higher portions of the dam.
