Frd No 7-2, also known as Upper Verdigris Watershed Dam 7-2, is a local government-owned dam located in Madison, Kansas, within Greenwood County. Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31 feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the South Branch-TR river or stream. With a storage capacity of 350 acre-feet, this dam covers a surface area of 11.65 acres and has a drainage area of 1.29 square miles.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Frd No 7-2 is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes state inspections, permitting, and enforcement. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and does not have any outlet gates. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it meets state jurisdiction and regulatory requirements for operation. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and there are no associated structures or locks present.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and its risk management measures are not specified. Despite these factors, Frd No 7-2 remains an important infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the region, contributing to the overall water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Greenwood County, Kansas.
