Summary
Managed by the local government and designed by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 33.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 955 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, Frd No 10 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Situated on Lime Creek-TR, this structure is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 60 feet, and it has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being currently rated for its condition, Frd No 10 serves as an important asset for water resource management in Dickinson County, Kansas, with a drainage area of 2.74 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1662 cubic feet per second.
Overall, Frd No 10 stands as a vital component of the local flood risk reduction infrastructure in Kansas, contributing to the protection of the community and surrounding areas from potential water-related disasters. Its strategic location, design features, and regulatory oversight ensure that it operates effectively in managing floodwaters and mitigating risks associated with extreme weather events, making it a key asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
