Summary
Built in 1966 by the USDA NRCS, this buttress dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a hydraulic height of 33 feet. With a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet, it serves as a key component in managing water flow in the Walnut Creek-TR river system.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No Gs 35 plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. Although there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's strategic location and design make it a critical asset for protecting the community of Reserve and its residents.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Frd No Gs 35 offers a fascinating case study in flood risk reduction and dam management. With its historical significance and ongoing role in water conservation, this dam serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable infrastructure in safeguarding our natural resources and communities against the impacts of extreme weather events. As efforts continue to monitor and assess its condition, Frd No Gs 35 remains a vital component in the broader ecosystem of water resource management in Kansas.

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.
