Frd No 7, located in Butler County, Kansas, is a vital flood risk reduction structure designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1981. This earth dam stands at a height of 27.3 feet and spans 2300 feet, providing essential protection to the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 684 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 1.19 square miles along the Walnut River.

Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, Frd No 7 is regularly inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture to ensure its reliability and effectiveness. The dam's spillway, with a width of 40 feet, helps manage high discharge levels up to 950 cubic feet per second during peak flow events. With a moderate risk assessment rating and a designated emergency action plan, Frd No 7 remains prepared to address any potential risks or emergencies that may arise, reflecting a commitment to safeguarding the local community and environment from the impacts of flooding.
