Summary

The dam, completed in 1989, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Foos Creek-TR river or stream. With a height of 29.9 feet and a length of 850 feet, Dd No 110 has a storage capacity of 581 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 89.6 acre-feet.

This earth dam with a buttress core type has a spillway width of 100 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 3066 cubic feet per second. The dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes regular inspections, with a hazard potential classified as high. Despite this, the condition assessment is listed as satisfactory, and the risk assessment is categorized as moderate. The dam does not have outlet gates and is not associated with any other structures.

Overall, Dd No 110 plays a crucial role in managing flood risk in the area, providing protection for surrounding communities and infrastructure. Its efficient design and satisfactory condition demonstrate the commitment to water resource management and climate resilience in the region, ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in the face of potential natural disasters.

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.
