Dd No 37, also known as Rock Creek Watershed Dam No 37, is a crucial structure located in Pottawatomie, Kansas. Owned by the local government and designed by USDA NRCS, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 36 feet and was completed in 1975 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a normal storage capacity of 33.2 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 150.8 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the area.
Situated on Rock Creek-TR, Dd No 37 is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, this dam serves as a key infrastructure for mitigating flood risks in the region. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's structure and design reflect a commitment to ensuring safety and resilience in the face of climate change challenges.
The proximity of Dd No 37 to WESTMORELAND and its strategic location within the Rock Creek watershed further underscore its importance in water resource management. With an uncontrolled spillway width of 68 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 503 cubic feet per second, this dam stands as a testament to collaborative efforts between local and federal agencies to safeguard communities against the impacts of extreme weather events.
