Lugar Dam, also known as Ksnoname 4503, is a private-owned structure located in Wyandotte, Kansas. Built in 1975 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. With a height of 33 feet and a hydraulic height of 40 feet, Lugar Dam has a storage capacity of 124.4 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4.7 acres.

Situated along the Wolf Creek-TR, Lugar Dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. Despite its high hazard potential and poor condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. The dam does not have any outlet gates and has a spillway width of 88 feet to manage excess water flow.

While Lugar Dam has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion, it remains an essential structure for fire protection and water storage in the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Lugar Dam are increasingly important to ensure their effectiveness in mitigating the effects of climate change on water availability and quality.
