Summary

Completed in 1984, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 550 feet, serving primarily for flood risk reduction purposes. With a storage capacity of 89.4 acre-feet, the dam also aids in debris control and has a low hazard potential.

Despite being unregulated by the state, Gs Dd No 30-28a plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Nemaha County, Kansas. The dam's uncontrolled spillway has a width of 58 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 986 cubic feet per second. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, it is deemed to have a moderate risk level of 3, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures.

Overall, Gs Dd No 30-28a (Stucker) serves as a significant infrastructure for flood control and water management in the region. Its presence along Gregg Creek-TR helps mitigate flood risks and ensures the safety of nearby communities. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, it is essential to monitor and maintain such structures to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure sustainable water management practices in the area.

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.
