About K-7
The primary purpose of K-7 is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by Marmaton Wjd No 102 (local government). It impounds the Bunion Creek-tr near Hiattville.
The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 1,256 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 16 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 338 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 2010, the structure is relatively new.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 09/28/2010. That was over 15 years ago.
