Owned by a private entity, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a structural height of 15 feet, holding a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, is part of the Spring Creek-TR river system and is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District.
With a low hazard potential and no significant modifications since its construction, Columbian Acres Dam No 2 has not been rated for its current condition. However, it has been inspected periodically, with the last recorded inspection dating back to July 1991. Despite being privately owned, the dam does not fall under state regulations for inspection, permitting, or enforcement, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance by its owners to ensure safety and longevity for both recreational and water resource purposes in the area.
