Gs Dd No A-93 is a vital earth dam located in Valley Falls, Kansas, designed by King & Associates and USDA NRCS. Completed in 1979, the dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 540 feet, serving primarily for flood risk reduction along the Straight Creek-TR river or stream. With a storage capacity of 159.8 acre-feet and a surface area of 8.19 acres, the dam plays a key role in controlling debris and reducing flood risks in the region.

Owned by the local government and regulated by the state, Gs Dd No A-93 is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its functionality and safety. Although classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated. With an uncontrolled spillway and no outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, highlighting areas for potential improvement and further evaluation.

Despite its low hazard potential, Gs Dd No A-93 remains a critical infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Jackson County, Kansas. As water resource and climate enthusiasts monitor the dam's condition and risk assessment, the local government and state agencies continue to oversee its operations and maintenance to safeguard the surrounding community and environment from potential flooding events.
