Summary

This dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, plays a crucial role in managing the water resources of the area, specifically along the Stribby Creek-TR. With a height of 26 feet and a length of 1060 feet, this earth dam serves to protect the surrounding areas from potential flooding events.

Owned by the local government and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 107 has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition assessment. The dam has a storage capacity of 239.11 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 44 feet. Although the structure has not been inspected recently, it is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates. In case of emergencies, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unknown.

Overall, Dd No 107 serves as a vital component in the water resource infrastructure of the region, providing flood risk reduction benefits to the local community. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns, structures like Dd No 107 become increasingly important in safeguarding against potential flooding events. With its strategic location and design, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between federal agencies, local governments, and conservation services to protect water resources and mitigate climate-related risks 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.
