Frd No 24, located in Rush Center, Kansas, is a vital structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the Walnut Creek-TR river. Completed in 1983, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 1144 feet, with a storage capacity of 697 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is to mitigate flood risks in the region, serving as a crucial resource for local government agencies in safeguarding the community against potential hazards.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 24 is regularly inspected with a satisfactory condition assessment and a high hazard potential due to its critical role in flood management. With a drainage area of 1.8 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1625 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a significant role in protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the structure's operational efficiency and design highlight its importance in maintaining water resource sustainability and climate resilience in the region.
As part of the Kansas City District's infrastructure, Frd No 24 continues to be a key asset in the state's flood risk reduction efforts. With its uncontrolled spillway and satisfactory condition, the dam ensures effective water management while also meeting state regulatory standards for inspection, permitting, and enforcement. Its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service underscore the importance of collaborative efforts in mitigating climate-related risks and ensuring the safety and well-being of communities in Rush Center and beyond.
