Summary

Built in 1955 by USDA SCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and stretches 550 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 149 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres, this dam on Fall Creek-TR serves as a vital resource for water management in the region.

Located in Linwood, Leavenworth County, this dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 1999. Despite its age, Ksnoname 4068 remains an important structure for the community, providing essential services for fire protection and water storage. With a maximum discharge capacity of 450 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and ensuring safety for the surrounding area.

Although not regulated by the state and federal agencies, Ksnoname 4068 continues to serve its intended purposes efficiently. With a historical significance dating back to the 1950s, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in Kansas.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
