National Dam Safety Program. Richwoods Mine 'B' Mill Dam (MO 31404), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Washington County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

This report assesses the general condition of the dam with respect to safety, based on available data and on visual inspection, to determine if the dam poses hazards to human life or property. The inspection results indicate problems with the discharge from the impoundment which runs along a portion of the dam toe. It appears this discharge channel has eroded the toe of the downstream slope and evidence of small slope failures were noted in this area.
