About Donnie Poore Dam
The primary purpose of Donnie Poore 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 Donnie Poore (private). It impounds the Tr-crooked Creek near Shelbina.
The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 301 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 24 square miles. Completed in 2008, the structure is relatively new.
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 11/30/2007. That was over 18 years ago.
At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
