Gs Dd No D-64, located in Valley Falls, Kansas, is a local government-owned Earth dam constructed in 1988 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction on the Delaware River. Designed by Speaker & King, this dam stands at a height of 27.5 feet and has a length of 760 feet, providing a storage capacity of 191.3 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 0.46 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1464 cubic feet per second, Gs Dd No D-64 plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Gs Dd No D-64 is considered to have a moderate risk level. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it has not undergone any recent inspections or condition assessments. Additionally, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and it is unclear whether the dam meets established guidelines for emergency preparedness. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the risk management measures and potential updates for Gs Dd No D-64 is essential to ensure the safety and resilience of the surrounding community in the face of changing environmental conditions.

As part of the Rock Island District, Gs Dd No D-64 is not associated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and does not receive federal funding or oversight. However, its strategic location on the Delaware River-TR stream, coupled with its significant storage capacity and flood risk reduction capabilities, highlights the importance of local government-led infrastructure in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience. Monitoring the condition and risk assessment of Gs Dd No D-64 will be critical for water resource and climate enthusiasts to support informed decision-making and proactive measures for sustainable water management in the future.
