Located in Elmdale, Kansas, Frd No 13 is a local government-owned earth dam designed by A&E and SCS engineers for flood risk reduction on the Middle Creek-TR river. The dam stands at a height of 24.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 894 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 1.76 square miles. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge of 1124 cubic feet per second, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed in terms of condition.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Frd No 13 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. It serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Marion County, Kansas, offering protection to the surrounding areas. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks an emergency action plan, indicating the need for further risk management measures to ensure public safety and the integrity of the structure. As a part of the larger water resource management system in Kansas, Frd No 13 plays a vital role in safeguarding communities from potential flooding events.
