National Dam Safety Program. Reed Area Number 3 Dam (MO 20032), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Jackson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
This dam is classified as a small size dam with a high downstream hazard potential. The inspection and evaluation indicates the spillway does meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The spillway will not pass the probable maximum flood without overtopping but will pass 50 percent of the probable maximum flood, which is greater than the estimated 100-year flood. Considering the small watershed, the small volume of water impounded, the four houses, one road and railroad downstream from the dam, 50 percent of the probable maximum flood is the appropriate spillway design flood. There were no observed deficiencies or conditions existing at the time of the inspection which indicated an immediate safety hazard. Future corrective action and regular maintenance will be required to maintain this structure in good condition.
