Dd No 110 Reservoir Report

Last Updated: December 5, 2025

Dd No 110, located in Diamond Springs, Kansas, is a locally owned earth dam constructed in 1983 by USDA-SCS for flood risk reduction along Diamond Creek.

Summary

The dam stands at a height of 25.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 193.7 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 23.9 acre-feet and a surface area of 5.7 acres. While the dam is primarily used for flood risk reduction, it also serves as a critical water resource for the area.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 110 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently not rated. Emergency action plans and risk management measures are yet to be fully established for the dam, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of downstream communities and water resources.

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.
