National Dam Safety Program. No Name 165 (Crystal Lake Dam) (MO 10580), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Jackson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Abstract

Crystal Lake Dam was inspected by a team of engineers. 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. Our 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 pass the probable maximum flood without overtopping. It should be noted that a flood of this magnitude would inundate major portions of Excelsior Springs, Missouri as indicated in the Flood Insurance Study for Excelsior Springs, Missouri, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Federal Insurance Administration.
