National Dam Safety Program. Treeline Lake Dam (MO 31606), Osage - Gasconade River Basin, Camden County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Treeline Lake Dam is an earthfill structure approximately 41 ft high and 740 ft long at the crest. The appurtenant works consist of a trapezoidal cut earth spillway located at the left abutment. Our inspection and evaluation indicates that the spillway does not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The spillway will pass 45 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping. The dam appears to be in good condition. Deficiencies visually observed by the inspection team were: (1) high weed growth on both embankment faces; (2) several minor erosion channels and evidence of vehicular traffic on the downstream embankment face; (3) seepage and erosion at the downstream right abutment-dam contact; (4) wet, marshy area at and beyond the downstream embankment toe; (5) lack of a non-erodible spillway control section; and (6) lack of wave protection for the upstream embankment face.
