Located in Greenwood County, Kansas, Frd No F-6, also known as Fall River Watershed Dam F-6, is a local government-owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction purposes. Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet and has a storage capacity of 3424.44 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 186 acre-feet and a drainage area of 7.16 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the Fall River-TR stream.
Managed by the KS Dept. of Agriculture and regulated by the state, Frd No F-6 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk rating. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway width of 40 feet ensures effective discharge during peak flow events. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps. However, the structure meets regulatory guidelines and is inspected periodically to ensure its safety and functionality.
Overall, Frd No F-6 serves as a vital infrastructure in the region, providing flood risk reduction benefits while also highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and emergency preparedness for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its strategic location and design features, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts of local and federal agencies in safeguarding communities from potential water-related disasters.
