National Dam Safety Program. Springdale Lake Dam (MO 20238), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Cass County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report
Springdale 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 not meet the criteria set forth in the guidelines for a dam having the above size and hazard potential. The spillways will not pass the probable maximum flood without overtopping but will pass 4 percent of the probable maximum flood. The spillways will not pass the 10 percent probability flood flow. The spillway design flood recommended by the guidelines is 50 to 100 percent of the probable maximum flood. Considering the hazard zone downstream of the dam, the spillway design flood should be 100 percent of the probable maximum flood. The probable maximum flood is defined as the flood discharge which may be expected from the most severe combination of critical meteorologic and hydrologic conditions which are reasonably possible in the region.
