National Dam Safety Program. Steeger Lake Dam (MO 11098), Upper Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Jefferson County, Missouri. Phase 1 Inspection Report

Abstract

The Steeger Lake Dam was visually inspected. The purpose of this inspection was to assess the general condition of the dam with respect to safety, and, based upon this inspection and available data, determine if the dam poses a hazard to human life or property. The following report summarizes the findings of the visual inspection and the results of certain hydrologic/ hydraulic investigations performed under the direction of the inspection team. Based on the visual inspection and the results of these hydrologic/hydraulic investigations, the present general condition of the dam is considered to be somewhat less than satisfactory. The fact that the reservoir has experienced excessive leakage since completion of the dam does not, in the opinion of the inspection team, reflect adversely on the general condition of the dam.
