Designed by USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 30 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Delaware River. Completed in 1960, it has a maximum storage capacity of 103 acre-feet and a normal storage of 14 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 3 acres and draining a 0.24 square mile watershed area.
With a hazard potential rated as high and a fair condition assessment, Frd No 3 is subject to regular inspections by the Kansas Department of Agriculture to ensure its structural integrity. The dam has a spillway width of 30 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 822 cubic feet per second.
