National Dam Safety Program. Hough Park Dam (MO 30022), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Cole County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report
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. The inspection and evaluation indicated that the combined spillways do not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The combined spillways will pass 47 percent of the Probable Maximum Flood without overtopping. The Probable Maximum Flood is defined as the flood discharge that may be expected from the most severe combination of critical meteorologic and hydrologic conditions that are reasonably possible in the region. The guidelines require that a dam of intermediate size with a high downstream hazard potential pass 100 percent of the PMF. The combined spillways will pass the 100-year flood without overtopping. The embankment was covered with trees and brush, which should be removed. Minor erosional areas were noted and should be corrected.
