Frd No F-10, also known as Fall River Watershed Dam F-10, is a locally owned structure in Greenwood, Kansas, designed by USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction. 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.
