Clement
Clement is an earth dam located in Nodaway County, Missouri, built in 1996. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Clement
The primary purpose of Clement 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 T. Scott Clement (private). It impounds the Tr-burr Oak Creek near Skidmore.
The dam stands 34 feet tall and stretches 1,264 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 42 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 217 square miles. Completed in 1996, the structure is 30 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.
At 34 feet, this dam is taller than 80% of dams nationwide.
