About Emil Jasper Trust

The primary purpose of Emil Jasper Trust 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 Jasper (private). It impounds the Tr-unnamed To Missouri River near Washington.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 400 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 27 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 172 square miles. Completed in 1999, the structure is 27 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. The most recent inspection on record was 11/01/2000. That was over 25 years ago.

At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
