National Dam Safety Program. Glen Rose Lake Dam (MO 10700), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Jefferson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report
Glen Rose Lake Dam is located in Jefferson County in the State of Missouri on an unnamed tributary of Rock Creek. The dam was constructed to impound water for a commercial, recreational, fishing lake. The visual inspection did not reveal any items that are sufficiently significant to indicate a need for immediate remedial action. However, the following conditions were observed which could adversely affect the dam in the future. The moist boggy area observed on the downstream slope of the dam could affect the structural stability of the dam; however, it does not constitute an unsafe condition at the present time. If the moisture in this area is due to seepage through the embankment, with time, it is possible the rate of seepage could increase and transport soil particles. This could cause piping of embankment material which could lead to the eventual failure of the embankment. The erosion in the lower portion of spillway discharge channel does not currently pose a safety hazard to the dam but will worsen with future flows through the spillway.
