Frd No 3-19, also known as Twin Caney Watershed Dam 3 19, is a local government-owned structure located in Peru, Kansas. Built in 1967 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and has a length of 1235 feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a normal storage capacity of 123 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1998.39 acre-feet.

Situated on Bear Creek-TR, Frd No 3-19 is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state agency. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam poses minimal risk to the surrounding area. Despite not having a current condition assessment, Frd No 3-19 meets guidelines for emergency action plans and risk management measures.

Although Frd No 3-19 has not been modified in recent years, it remains an important structure for flood risk reduction in the Chautauqua County area. With its uncontrolled spillway and capacity to handle a maximum discharge of 1665 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating the impact of extreme weather events on the local community.
