Located in the Turkey Creek Watershed in Dickinson County, Kansas, Frd No 11, also known as the Turkey Creek Watershed Dam 11, was completed in 1971 by the USDA NRCS as a flood risk reduction measure. This local government-owned dam stands at a height of 41 feet and has a hydraulic height of 38 feet, with a length of 1785 feet. With a storage capacity of 1347 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating the risk of flooding in the area, particularly along the West Turkey Creek.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 11 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Classified as a Buttress dam, it has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared or updated, its risk management measures are currently under review, reflecting the ongoing commitment to ensuring the safety and resilience of the local community in case of emergencies related to water resources and climate events.
Despite its tranquil setting in Enterprise, Kansas, Frd No 11 serves as a critical infrastructure piece in the region's water resource management efforts. Its design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service reflect a commitment to sustainable and effective flood control measures. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the dam's performance, Frd No 11 stands as a testament to the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding communities against the impacts of extreme weather events and ensuring the sustainable management of water resources for future generations.
