About Frumar Lake Dam

The primary purpose of Frumar Lake Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Frank Frumar (private). It impounds the Tr-meramec River near Steelville.

The dam stands 25 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 3 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 50 square miles. Completed in 1973, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 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.
