Frd No 1 (Nebo Creek) is a vital infrastructure in Kansas, designed by the USDA NRCS and owned by the local government. This earth dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the Nebo Creek Subwatershed, with a capacity of 660 acre-feet and a normal storage of 140 acre-feet. Completed in 1963, the dam stands at a height of 42 feet and has a spillway width of 90 feet to manage uncontrolled overflow.

Located in Jackson County, Kansas, near the city of Half Mound, Frd No 1 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. While the inspection frequency is listed as 0, the dam's risk assessment is moderate (3), indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction.

Despite not having outlet gates, Frd No 1 has been designed to efficiently control water flow and minimize the risk of inundation. With the state of Kansas regulating and inspecting the dam, it remains a key asset in managing water resources and climate impacts in the region. As climate change continues to pose challenges, structures like Frd No 1 are essential for safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the threat of flooding.
