National Dam Safety Program. Goff Springs Dam (MO 30905), Upper Mississippi - Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, St. Francois County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is located in the northern portion of St. Francois County, Missouri. The dam forms a recreational lake. The conditions observed, in our opinion, are significant enough to indicate a need for immediate remedial action. In the opinion of the inspection team, the services of a professional engineer experienced in the design of dams should be obtained immediately to evaluate the deficiencies noted, i.e. the steepness of the embankment, slope creep, small erosion channels, seepage, uncontrolled vegetation on the downstream slope of embankment, and springs in the right abutment.
