National Dam Safety Program. Lakenan Lake Dam (MO 31066), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis River Basin, Perry County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is located in the northwest part of Perry County, Missouri on a tributary of Blue Spring Branch. The dam was constructued primarily for recreation. The dam appears to be in good condition. The upstream face is grass covered and without wave protection. There are a few small animal holes, but no significant erosion. The crest of the dam is clear and mowed. It appeared uniform both vertically and horizontally, and no cracking or unusual movement was observed. The downstream face is grass covered and clear of trees and brush. No sloughing or seepage was noted. An erosion gully was noted at the left downstream dam-abutment contact near the outlet of the principal spillway pipe. Some mirror erosion was also noted at the right downstream dam-abutment contact.
