National Dam Safety Program. McDaniel Dam (MO 20038), Missouri - Osage - Gasconade Basin, Greene County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

McDaniel Lake Dam is located approximately 3 miles north of the intersection of Interstate 44 and State Highway 13 near Springfield, Greene County, Missouri on the Little Sack River. McDaniel Lake Dam is used for water supply. Visual inspection revealed that the dam, spillway and outlet works are in good condition. The concrete appears to be in good condition with the exception of hairline cracks and deterioration at the construction joints. The trees and sedimentation should be removed from upstream of the emergency spillway. The trees located in the emergency spillway discharge channel should be removed. The presence of the flashboards in the emergency spillway is questionable. The fact that the reservoir drain line has never been opened indicates that it may not be operable in an emergency. Complete evaluation of the structure cannot be made without a detailed stability, seepage and stress analysis with test results of the concrete.
