Summary
Completed in 1989 by King & Associates, this earth dam stands at 28 feet tall and stretches 700 feet in length, serving primarily for flood risk reduction purposes. With a storage capacity of 176.6 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.38 square miles, Gs Dd No A-102 plays a crucial role in controlling debris and reducing flood risks in the region.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk level, Gs Dd No A-102 has not been inspected or assessed for its condition. With no emergency action plan in place and limited information on risk management measures, there is a need for further evaluation and preparation to ensure the dam's safety and functionality in the face of potential climate-related challenges. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Gs Dd No A-102 is crucial in mitigating risks and protecting communities from the impacts of extreme weather events.
With its strategic location and role in flood risk reduction, Gs Dd No A-102 serves as a vital infrastructure asset in Jackson County, Kansas. As we continue to navigate the complexities of water resource management and climate resilience, it is essential to prioritize the maintenance and safety of structures like Gs Dd No A-102 to safeguard communities and ecosystems from the growing threats of climate change. By staying informed and taking proactive measures, we can work towards a more sustainable and resilient water infrastructure system for the benefit of all.

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.
