National Dam Safety Program. Hunter Dam (MO 10029), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, St. Louis County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The purpose of the inspection was to have a surficial inspection of the existing developments with an evaluation of the hydrology of the watershed above the existing dam and the hydraulics at the dam and spillway. A search for and examination of specific records of the dam and its appurtenances and field measurements applicable to the above-stated purpose are implied in and required by the charge. Hunter Dam is a homogeneous earth dam with crest approximately 400 feet long and 32 feet above flowline of the outlet from the bleeder spillway. The Hunter Dam has a high hazard potential, meaning that the dam is located where failure may cause loss of life, serious damage to homes, extensive agricultural, industrial and commercial facilities, important public utilities, main highways or railroads. For the Hunter Dam the flood damage zone extends downstream for three to four miles. Within the first 1/4 mile downstream are twenty to twenty-five apartments, all occupied, (on Hy. 141). Within the first 1/2 mile downstream are nine homes located in the floodplain. Two electrical power lines, Highway 340 and a highway bridge are located within a mile and a quarter downstream.
