National Dam Safety Program. Henry Sever Dam (MO 10110), Mississippi - Salt - Quincy River Basin, Knox County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
Henry Sever Dam No. Mo. 10110 was inspected. Based on the criteria in the guidelines, the dam is in the high hazard potential classification, which means that loss of life and appreciable property loss could occur in the event of failure of the dam. Two farmhouses with associated farm buildings, five trailer camping pads, one improved road crossing, one state highway, and the town of Newark, Missouri would be subjected to flooding, with possible damage and/or destruction, and possible loss of life. Henry Sever Dam is in the intermediate size classification since it is more than 40 feet high, but less than 100 feet high, and impounds more than 1,000 acre-feet, but less than 50,000 acre-feet of water. Our inspection and evaluation indicates that the spillway of Henry Sever Dam does not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential.
