Frd No 108, also known as Upper Black Vermillion WS Dam 108, is a local government-owned earth dam located in Axtell, Kansas. Built in 1973 by the USDA NRCS, this structure serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the North Fork Black Vermillion River. With a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 175.22 acre-feet, the dam spans 830 feet in length and covers a surface area of 6.88 acres.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Frd No 108 has not been officially rated for its condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and lacks outlet gates. While it is not regulated by the state and does not require regular inspections, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified. The surrounding area, with a drainage area of 0.39 square miles, may benefit from further assessment and monitoring to ensure the structure's continued effectiveness in flood risk mitigation.
