Frd No 7, also known as Turkey Creek Watershed Dam No 7, is a local government-owned earth dam located in Marion County, Kansas. Built in 1977 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction along the East Turkey Creek-TR. With a height of 28 feet and a length of 1740 feet, Frd No 7 has a storage capacity of 730.25 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 17.89 acres, contributing to the protection of the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 7 is regulated, inspected, and permitted by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition has not been rated, and no emergency action plan is currently in place. With its uncontrolled spillway type and a width of 40 feet, Frd No 7 continues to play a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring essential water resource infrastructure for climate resilience.
