National Dam Safety Program. Burton-Duenke Dam Number 5 (MO 31608), Missouri - Osage - Gasconade Basin, Camden County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.
Abstract
The dam is an earth structure approximately 450 feet long along the crest and 43 feet high. The dam crest is 49 feet wide. The spillway is an uncontrolled 18-inch corrugated metal pipe installed in the embankment. There is no emergency spillway. Well water is pumped into the lake through a valved 2-inch plastic pipe. Our 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 not pass the probable maximum flood without overtopping but will pass 15 percent of the probable maximum flood. Based on visual observations, this dam appears to be in satisfactory condition. Deficiencies visually observed by the inspection team were seepage on the downstream slope, at the toe, and on both abutments, erosion on the upstream and downstream slopes and at the interface of the right abutment and the upstream slope, small trees on the upstream and downstream slopes, the very thin ground cover and poor drainage on the crest.
