Summary
This earth dam, designed by USDA NRCS, was completed in 1966 with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Walnut Creek-TR river or stream. With a height of 34 feet and a storage capacity of 170.57 acre-feet, this dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the region.
Situated in Reserve, Kansas, Frd No Gs 2 spans 670 feet in length and has a spillway width of 40 feet. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, it is state regulated and inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam's normal storage capacity of 37 acre-feet helps in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding areas from potential inundation during extreme weather events.
Although the condition assessment of Frd No Gs 2 is currently not rated, its risk assessment is moderate, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. With its location in the Walnut Creek Watershed, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region, underlining the importance of maintaining and regulating such structures for the community's safety and well-being.

Dam Data Reference
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.
