Henry Stube Dd No Iii dam
Henry Stube Dd No Iii
Henry Stube Dd No III, also known as Little Delaware Mission Creek FRS 3, is a local government-owned structure in Horton, Kansas, designed by the USDA NRCS. This dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Grasshopper Creek, with a buttress core type and a height of 38 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 7 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 295 acre-feet, Henry Stube Dd No III plays a crucial role in managing water levels and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Located in Brown County, Kansas, this dam is regulated and inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, ensuring its compliance with state regulations and safety standards. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, Henry Stube Dd No III remains a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure. Despite its age and lack of recent modifications, this dam continues to provide essential flood protection for the community while being well-maintained and monitored by the appropriate authorities.
Although lacking specific details on its construction year and recent inspection dates, Henry Stube Dd No III stands as a testament to effective flood risk reduction measures in the region. With no associated structures and a spillway width of 74 feet, this dam exemplifies the importance of proactive water resource management in mitigating potential risks and ensuring the safety of nearby residents. As climate change continues to impact water availability and extreme weather events, structures like Henry Stube Dd No III play a crucial role in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the growing threats of flooding and water-related disasters.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Henry Stube Dd No Iii
Where does the data for Henry Stube Dd No Iii come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
