Frd No 2, located in Delia, Kansas, is a local government-owned earth dam designed by USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 36.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 3090.5 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 7.08 square miles, the dam serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 2 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam has a significant hazard potential but is currently assessed as satisfactory in condition. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam's associated structures and emergency preparedness measures have not been fully updated, requiring attention to meet guidelines for risk management.
With its location along Sullivan Creek Cross Creek, Frd No 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in Jackson County, Kansas. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Frd No 2 are essential for protecting communities and preserving water quality in the region.
