National Dam Safety Program. Eastland Lake Dam (MO 20444), Osage - Gasconade River Basin, Bates County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Eastland Lake Dam is an earthfill structure approximately 16 ft high and 800 ft long at the crest. The appurtenant work consists of an earth cut swale at the east abutment and an earth cut channel at the west abutment (initial spillway section). Our inspection and evaluation indicates that the combined spillways do not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The combined spillways will pass 36 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping. The dam appears to be in fair condition. Deficiencies visually observed by the inspection team were: (1) surface cracking on the crest of dam; (2) some sloughing of the upstream slope; (3) numerous animal burrows; (4) erosion of upstream face of dam (lack of wave protection); (5) trees and brush on slopes of embankment; (6) reported seepage along downstream toe of embankment; (7) trees and brush in west abutment spillway channel; and (8) lack of non-erodible spillway section.
