Priebe Dam
Priebe Dam is an earth dam located in Clark County, Missouri, built in 1994. It carries a Low hazard potential classification.
About Priebe Dam
The primary purpose of Priebe 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 Gene Priebe (private). It impounds the Tr-south Wyaconda River near Wyaconda.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 323 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 48 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 109 square miles. Completed in 1994, the structure is 32 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.
