Feldkamp Dam
Feldkamp Dam is an earth dam located in Lewis County, Missouri, built in 2010. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Feldkamp Dam
The primary purpose of Feldkamp 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 Robert & Jill Feldkamp (private). It impounds the Trib-troublesome Creek.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 270 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 33 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 262 square miles. Completed in 2010, 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.
