National Dam Safety Program. Mineral Point Number 2 Dam (MO 31158), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Washington County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The Mineral Point Number 2 Dam Missouri Inventory Number 31158 was inspected. The dam is an abandoned barite tailings dam. The St Louis District (SLD), Corps of Engineers has classified this dam as having a high hazard potential; we concur with this classification. The SLD estimated damage zone length extends approximately 10 mi downstream. Located within this zone are the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, Missouri Highway 47, and several occupied dwellings. The inspection and evaluation indicate that the dam is in generally good condition. Specific deficiencies noted are the steep downstream slope and lack of maintenance and periodic inspection. Also deemed as a deficiency is the lack of any stability or seepage analyses as per the recommended guidelines.
