Summary
Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 38 feet and has a primary purpose classified as "Other." With a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in water management within Jewell County.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Proj 45s-300(3) is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safe operation. Designated as a buttress dam with a structural height of 38 feet and a length of 700 feet, this structure serves as a vital component in the local water infrastructure system. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, this dam remains a reliable asset in the region.
Located in a rural area with limited infrastructure, Proj 45s-300(3) serves as a key water management tool for the surrounding community. With its low hazard potential and state-regulated status, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between local government, federal agencies, and state regulators in safeguarding water resources and ensuring the resilience of water infrastructure in Kansas.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
