Frd No 29, also known as Big Caney Watershed Dam 29, is a local government-owned structure located in Cedarvale, Kansas. Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Spring Creek. With a storage capacity of 727.19 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 93 feet, Frd No 29 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the Chautauqua County.
The dam, designed by A&E and USDA SCS, is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and is subject to state inspections and enforcement. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the condition of Frd No 29 is currently not rated. With no outlet gates or associated structures, this uncontrolled spillway dam with a buttress core type is a key component of the local flood control infrastructure in the area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the efforts put into managing the flood risk in the region through structures like Frd No 29.
