Abstract

This report assesses the general condition of the dam with respect to safety, based on available data and on visual inspection, to determine if the dam poses hazards to human life or property. This dam has been classified as unsafe, non-emergency by the St. Louis District as a result of the application of the following criteria: (1) Spillway will not pass 15 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood; (2) Overtopping could result in dam failure; and (3) DAm failure significantly increases the hazard to loss of life downstream.
