National Dam Safety Program. Glen Leonard Dam (MO 30428), Mississippi - Kaskaskia - St. Louis Basin, Jefferson County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report
The dam is in the high hazard potential classification, which means that loss of life and appreciable property loss could occur in the event of failure of the dam. The downstream damage zone is approximately 3 miles long. Over 10 existing homes plus more than 10 additional planned home sites are located within one mile downstream of the dam. These homes and four improved road crossings would be subjected to flooding with possible damage and/or destruction and possible loss of life if the dam should suddenly fail. The dam is in the small size classification because it is less than 40 feet high and impounds less than 1000 acre-feet of water. For its size and hazard category, this dam is required by the guidelines to pass one-half PMF to the PMF. However, considering the high hazard potential to life (10 existing homes and 10 planned homes) and property downstream of the dam, the PMF is considered the appropriate spillway design flood. The PMF is defined as resulting from the most severe combination of critical meteorologic and hydrologic conditions that are reasonably possible in the region.
