Summary
Built in 1960, the dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a hydraulic height of 29 feet, providing a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Spring Creek-TR and is owned and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
With its primary purpose and specific dam types left unspecified, the Us-36 dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in Marshall County, Kansas. Although the condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," the dam's low hazard potential indicates a relatively low risk level. The dam does not have an emergency action plan in place, but its state-regulated status ensures that inspections, permitting, and enforcement are conducted to maintain its structural integrity.
Despite the lack of specific details on purposes and spillway types, the Us-36 dam remains a significant feature in the local water resource management system. With its strategic location on Spring Creek-TR and the oversight provided by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, the dam plays a vital role in ensuring water supply and flood control in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding and monitoring structures like the Us-36 dam are essential for sustainable water management practices.

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.
