National Dam Safety Program. Hamilton City Water Plant Dam (M0 10261), Grand - Chariton Basin, Caldwell County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The purpose of the inspection was to make an assessment of the general conditions 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. The inspection and evaluation indicate that the spillways do not meet the minimum criteria set forth in the recommended guidelines for an intermediate dam having a high hazard potential. The Probable Maximum Flood is the appropriate spillway flood. The spillways will pass the 100-year flood (a flood having a 1 percent probability of being exceeded in any year) without overtopping the dam. The spillways will pass 30 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping the dam. The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) is defined as the flood that may be expected from the most severe combination of critical meteorological and hydrologic conditions that are reasonably possible in the region.
