Frd No 23, located in Mitchell County, Kansas, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Little Creek-TR river or stream. This earth dam, standing at a height of 42.6 feet and with a length of 1230 feet, provides a storage capacity of 2153 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 37.4 acres. The dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and is under state jurisdiction, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Frd No 23 is rated as having a moderate risk level (3). The dam has not been assessed for its condition, and no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps have been prepared or updated. With no associated structures, outlet gates, or locks, the dam relies on an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 300 feet to manage excess water flow. The risk management measures and risk assessment for Frd No 23 are currently unspecified, indicating potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness and infrastructure maintenance.
