Summary
Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 1000 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 383 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its safety and efficacy in reducing flood risks in the area.
Situated on the North Fork Black Vermillion River, Frd No 82 has a drainage area of 0.8 square miles and a spillway width of 40 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level (3) based on a risk assessment. With a surface area of 13 acres and a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks for the surrounding community.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unspecified. Nonetheless, Frd No 82 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in Marshall County, Kansas, showcasing the collaborative efforts of various agencies in ensuring the safety and functionality of water resource structures for the benefit of local communities and the environment.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
