Moser Dam
Moser Dam is an earth dam located in Marion County, Missouri, built in 1991. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Moser Dam
The primary purpose of Moser 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 Naomi Moser (private). It impounds the Tr-north Fabius River near Tsylor.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 250 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 21 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 73 square miles. Completed in 1991, the structure is 35 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.
