Located in Rush, Kansas, Frd No 3 is a local government-owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS in 1984 for flood risk reduction along the Wet Walnut Creek-TR. With a dam height of 19.8 feet and a length of 1246 feet, it provides a storage capacity of 948 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 17 acres. The dam's spillway, with a width of 40 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing for a maximum discharge of 1106 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Frd No 3 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have outlet gates and has not been inspected recently, with the inspection frequency marked as 0. While it meets state regulation requirements and has state jurisdiction, it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts. With its strategic location and purpose in mind, Frd No 3 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk mitigation in the region, managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
