Woodward Lake Dam is an earth dam located in Daviess County, Missouri, built in 1976. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Woodward Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Woodward Lake Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by James Woodward (private). It impounds the Tr-goose Creek near Pattonsburg.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 330 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 15 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 108 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 300 square miles. Completed in 1976, the structure is 50 years old.
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.
