National Dam Safety Program. Easterday Dam (MO 10950), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Montgomery County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

The dam is an earthfill about 600 feet long and 33.6 feet in height located in gently rolling hills of central Missouri. All discharges at the dam site are through an uncontrolled earthen spillway at the left end of the dam. The spillway has no uniform shape and has very poor vegetative cover. Our inspection and evaluation indicates that the spillway does not meet the criteria set forth in the recommended guidelines for a small size dam having a high hazard potential. The spillway has the capacity to pass 9% of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping the dam.
