National Dam Safety Program. Black Tailings Dam (MO 31154), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Washington County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report
This report presents the results of field inspection and evaluation of the Black Tailings Dam. This dam has been classified as unsafe, emergency by the St. Louis District as a result of the application of the following criteria: (1) This dam which has no spillway will not contain a 10-year frequency flood without overtopping occurring. The storage capacity of this dam is, therefore, considered to be unusually small and seriously inadequate; (2) Overtopping could result in dam failure; and (3) Dam failure would significantly increase the hazard to life and property downstream.
