National Dam Safety Program. Lake Springfield Dam (MO 20023), Osage - Gasconade Basin, Greene County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Lake Springfield Dam is located approximately 5 miles south of Springfield, Missouri on the James River. Lake Springfield Dam is used to supply cooling water to the James River power plant. The visual inspection did not reveal any signs of instability. The dam appeared to be in good condition. Water flowing over the spillway weir did not permit close examination of the concrete. In addition, it was impossible to examine the upstream portion of the concrete gravity section and the portion below the tailwater. Complete evaluation of the structure cannot be made without a detailed stability, stress and seepage analysis.
