Located in Butler County, Kansas, Frd No 2, also known as the Little Walnut Hickory Watershed Dam, was completed in 1966 by the USDA NRCS. This earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a hydraulic height of 32 feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area. With a storage capacity of 1245.64 acre-feet and a drainage area of 3.4 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

Owned by the local government and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 2 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 its moderate risk level, the dam has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date, indicating a need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term stability and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.

As a key structure in the NO BR Little Walnut River-TR watershed, Frd No 2 plays a critical role in flood control and water management efforts in the region. With its buttress core type and earth dam design, the dam represents a vital piece of infrastructure for protecting local communities from the impacts of extreme weather events and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources in Butler County, Kansas.
