Abstract: The Taum Sauk Dam Upper Reservoir located in southeast Missouri failed on December 14, 2005. Two days after the catastrophic failure event an aerial survey were conducted to collect Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The LiDAR data were interpreted and evaluated to a sub-meter resolution. The data were used to quantify the extent of the damage produced by the water released into a Missouri State Park. Damage consisted of washing out trees, soil, and the reservoir embankment, and scouring the ground to bedrock in places. Additionally, the data also were used in the evaluation of the reservoir damage, which consisted of a 207.3m (680ft) wide breach and scoured slopes. This paper focuses on the multiple uses of LiDAR data to assess damage to natural resources, and hydraulic and geotechnical evaluation of the failure.
