Frd No Gs 29, also known as Walnut Creek Watershed Dam Gs 29, is a local government-owned earth dam located in Padonia, Kansas. Built in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this structure stands at 27 feet tall and spans 545 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 114.32 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the Spring Creek-TR river or stream in the region.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Frd No Gs 29 is currently not rated for its condition. Despite not being state-regulated or inspected, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. The spillway, with a width of 70 feet, is uncontrolled, and the dam does not have outlet gates. Although the emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not provided, the structure continues to serve its intended purpose effectively. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Frd No Gs 29 represents a key piece of infrastructure in the Walnut Creek Watershed, contributing to the overall resilience of the region against flooding events.
