Summary
Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 646.68 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the Fall River-TR watershed.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No F-10 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Its uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 40 feet, can handle a maximum discharge of 215 cubic feet per second. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are in place to mitigate potential risks and ensure public safety in the event of a flood or emergency situation.
Situated in a strategic location with a drainage area of 1.35 square miles, Frd No F-10 is a vital piece of infrastructure in the region. Its primary purpose of flood risk reduction highlights its importance in protecting the local community from potential water-related disasters. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Frd No F-10 will play a crucial role in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of the region's water management systems.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
