Frd No 19, also known as Little Delaware Mission WS Dam 19, is a local government-owned earth dam located in Muscotah, Kansas. Completed in 1969, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Grasshopper Creek-TR. With a height of 31 feet and a length of 540 feet, Frd No 19 has a capacity of 90 acre-feet for storage, with a normal storage level of 22 acre-feet.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 19 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and has no outlet gates. Despite being unmodified in recent years, the dam remains in moderate risk (level 3) condition, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.

With Steven C. Watkins, Jr. (R) as the representative for the area, Frd No 19 stands as a key infrastructure for protecting the community from potential flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and condition of dams like Frd No 19 is crucial in fostering resilience and sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.
