Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 43 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 2796.92 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the USDA NRCS, Frd No 2-4 is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam spans a length of 1800 feet and is situated on Shaw Creek, with a drainage area of 5.79 square miles.
