Located in Neosho County, Kansas, the Dd No B-23 (Harms-Labette-Hackberry) dam is a crucial piece of infrastructure managed by the local government. The dam is designed by Dale Steward and falls under the regulatory oversight of the Kansas Department of Agriculture. With a height of 28 feet and a length of 1200 feet, the dam plays a significant role in water resource management in the region, with a storage capacity of 462.3 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.07 square miles.

The dam, constructed using earth and buttress core types, has a spillway width of 60 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1935 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management. The last inspection of the dam took place in 1991, with its condition currently listed as "Not Rated." As a vital component of the Labette Creek-TR watershed, the Dd No B-23 dam serves as a critical resource for water supply, flood control, and environmental preservation in the region.

Given its state-regulated status, the dam is subject to regular inspection, permitting, and enforcement by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. While the dam lacks certain emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, its risk profile is actively managed to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the Dd No B-23 dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in mitigating environmental risks and safeguarding communities against potential hazards.
