Fredonia, a local government-owned dam in Arizona, serves as a crucial structure for flood risk reduction along the Kanab Creek. Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 22.5 feet and spans over 9455.7 feet in length. Despite its important role in controlling potential flooding, the dam's condition assessment in 2018 deemed it unsatisfactory, with a high hazard potential and a moderate risk level.
Located in Coconino County, Fredonia's dam is regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity. With a spillway width of 450 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 14750 cubic feet per second, Fredonia's flood risk reduction capabilities are significant. However, with its current risk level and high hazard potential, continuous monitoring and maintenance efforts are necessary to safeguard the surrounding area from potential flooding disasters.
