Summary

With a height of 31 feet and a length of 1300 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 1494 acre-feet and serves the purpose of controlling flooding in the area. The dam, constructed by unknown designers, is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.

Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, Frd No 2-1 has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the dam has not been assessed for its condition, it is currently rated as not rated. The last inspection occurred in 2007, and the dam does not have an emergency action plan in place. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 120 feet, and it has a maximum discharge capacity of 2989 cubic feet per second. Overall, Frd No 2-1 plays a crucial role in managing flood risks in the region, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
