Concannon Marsh Dam, also known as Ksnoname 712, is a privately owned structure located in Burdett, Kansas. Built in 1952 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a height of 19 feet and a length of 975 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 15.21 acres. Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.

Situated on the Pawnee River-TR, Concannon Marsh Dam is part of the Kansas City District and falls within the jurisdiction of Finney County, Kansas. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 350 feet and has no outlet gates or associated locks. While it has not been regularly inspected since 2003, the dam is considered to have moderate risk potential. Despite its lack of state regulation and inspection, the dam continues to serve its intended purposes effectively, providing essential water resources for its owners and the surrounding area.

As a vital structure for fire protection and water management in the region, Concannon Marsh Dam remains an important asset despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment. With its historical significance dating back to 1952, the dam serves as a testament to the enduring importance of water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns. The dam's presence highlights the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its reliability and safety for the community it serves.
