Sediment Pond 325c dam
Sediment Pond 325c
Sediment Pond 325c, located in BOICOURT, Kansas, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans a length of 600 feet, with a storage capacity of 91.49 acre-feet. Situated along the NORTH SUGAR CREEK-TR river or stream, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Despite its low hazard potential, Sediment Pond 325c has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available on its last inspection date or maintenance history. The dam does not have an emergency action plan in place, and there are no designated emergency contacts or inundation maps prepared for potential risk scenarios. While the structure serves a vital function in flood control, there is a need for improved monitoring and maintenance protocols to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety for the community.
As a key component of flood risk mitigation in Linn County, Kansas, Sediment Pond 325c warrants closer attention and proactive management to address any potential vulnerabilities and enhance its resilience to changing environmental conditions. With a focus on safety and sustainability, efforts should be made to establish regular inspection schedules, develop an emergency action plan, and ensure that the dam meets all regulatory guidelines. By implementing these measures, Sediment Pond 325c can continue to fulfill its vital role in protecting the local area from the impacts of extreme weather events and safeguarding valuable water resources for future generations.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Sediment Pond 325c
Where does the data for Sediment Pond 325c come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
