Summary
Completed in 1992, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and stretches 2100 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 2850 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of flood risk reduction and is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
With a hazard potential rated as low and a moderate risk assessment score of 3, Dd No 2-32 has not been inspected or rated for its condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 450 feet, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 6000 cubic feet per second. The surrounding area has a drainage area of 18.8 square miles and a surface area of 39.5 acres, providing essential flood protection to the community.
Even though the dam has not been assessed for its condition, it is crucial for local water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and maintain Dd No 2-32 to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. With its strategic location and moderate risk assessment, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the Hodgeman County area from potential flood events.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
