National Dam Safety Program. Unity Lake Number 1 Dam (MO 20039), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Jackson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The purpose of the inspection was to make an assessment of the general condition 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. This dam is classified as an intermediate size dam with a high downstream hazard potential. The inspection and evaluation indicates the spillway does not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The spillway will pass 50 percent of the probable maximum flood without overtopping. Deficiencies visually observed by the inspection team were minor amounts of seepage at random slab, joints and in abutment drains, minor concrete spalling on the spillways downstream surface, exposed reinforcing steel on vertical supports, and the absence of containment walls on the spillway.
