Dd No B-1 is a local government-owned earth dam located in Enterprise, Kansas, along the West Branch Turkey Creek. Built in 1984 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area. Standing at a height of 19.5 feet and stretching 745 feet in length, Dd No B-1 has a storage capacity of 227 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.32 square miles.

Despite its low hazard potential, Dd No B-1 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have outlet gates and has not been inspected in recent years. While the emergency action plan status and risk assessment for the dam are not available, the structure is designed to meet flood risk reduction needs in the region. With its location in a rural area of Dickinson County, Kansas, Dd No B-1 plays a crucial role in mitigating potential flood impacts in the community.

As a vital infrastructure for flood control in the area, Dd No B-1 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of local government and federal agencies in managing water resources. While certain details about its condition and emergency preparedness are lacking, the dam's construction by the USDA NRCS underscores the commitment to safeguarding communities from potential flood risks. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of structures like Dd No B-1 highlights the importance of sustainable water management practices in safeguarding our environment and communities.
