National Dam Safety Program. Laguna Palma Dam (MO 30404), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Jefferson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Laguna Palma Dam is located approximately 4.5 miles east of Vales Mines, Missouri on the West Fork of Plattin Creek. Laguna Palma Dam is used for recreation. The visual inspection did not reveal any immediate signs of instability. The earth embankment section of the dam appears to be in good condition. The concrete gravity section appears to be in fair condition. Detailed examination of the cracks in the concrete gravity section cannot be made without the reservoir level being dropped. The upstream condition of these cracks if they extend through the dam was observed. In addition, with the water discharging over the spillway crest, it was impossible to determine whether any seepage zones exist in the concrete section. Any undercutting of the toe was not determined because of the tailwater.
