National Dam Safety Program. Govro Lake Dam (MO 31095), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis River Basin, Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Govro Lake Dam was inspected by an interdisciplinary team of engineers. The purpose of this inspection was to make an assessment of the general condition 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. 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 flow line is at a higher elevation than the low point of the embankment. The dam will store 90 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping. The Probable Maximum Flood is defined as the flood discharge that may be expected from the most severe combination of critical meteorological and hydrologic conditions that are reasonably possible in the region. The guidelines require that a dam of intermediate size with a high downstream hazard potential pass 100 percent of the PMF.
