Frd No 2, also known as Turkey Creek Watershed Dam 2, is a crucial piece of infrastructure located in Dickinson County, Kansas. Constructed in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the region. With a storage capacity of 1655.22 acre-feet and a surface area of 24.5 acres, Frd No 2 plays a vital role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding communities from potential flooding events.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 2 is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has a hazard potential rated as low. Despite being in operation for several decades, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts are encouraged to stay informed about the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols.
Located in the Turkey Creek-TR watershed, Frd No 2 is a critical piece of infrastructure that demonstrates the collaboration between federal, state, and local agencies in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the importance of maintaining and enhancing infrastructure like Frd No 2 becomes even more apparent. By staying engaged with updates on its condition, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness, enthusiasts can contribute to the resilience of water resources in the region and support sustainable water management practices for future generations.
