National Dam Safety Program. Lake Thunderhead Dam (MO 10007), Grand - Chariton Basin, Putnam County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Lake Thunderhead Dam was inspected by an interdisciplinary team of engineers. The purpose of the inspection was to make an assessment of the general conditions of the dam with respect to safety, based upon available data and visual inspection, in order to determine if the dam poses hazards to human life or property. In accordance with the guidelines and based on visual observation, the dam is classified as having a high potential for damage and loss of life. Failure would threaten life and property. The estimated damage zone extends approximately twenty (20) miles downstream of the dam to the confluence of North Blackbird Creek and South Blackbird Creek. Within the first six miles of the damage zone are six dwellings and some outbuildings. Missouri Highway 5 is immediately downstream; Missouri Highway 129 is approximately four miles downstream; and U.S. Highway 136 is about eleven miles downstream. The valley is extensively farmed for its full length.
