Frd No 19, also known as Rock Creek Watershed Dam 19, is a local government-owned structure located in Butler County, Kansas. Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 406 cubic feet per second, Frd No 19 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from the impacts of severe weather events.
Situated along Rock Creek-TR, this dam covers a surface area of 10.23 acres and has a drainage area of 1.48 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Frd No 19 has not undergone a formal condition assessment and is currently not rated. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and does not have outlet gates. While the structure has not been modified in recent years, it remains a key component in the local flood risk management strategy, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in safeguarding the community against potential water-related challenges.
