Landes Lake Dam
Landes Lake Dam is an earth dam located in Harrison County, Missouri, built in 1978. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Landes Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Landes 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 Loren D Landes (private). It impounds the Tr-queens Branch near Mount Moriah.
The dam stands 26 feet tall and stretches 340 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 12 square miles. Completed in 1978, the structure is 48 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.
