Frd No 12, located in Rush County, Kansas, is a local government-owned earth dam designed by USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction. The dam, with a height of 33.5 feet and a length of 3300 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction and debris control in the area. It has a storage capacity of 1435 acre-feet and a drainage area of 6.6 square miles, with a maximum discharge of 1669 cubic feet per second.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Frd No 12 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have outlet gates and its spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 60 feet. While it has not been inspected recently, the dam is under state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not currently available, indicating a potential area for improvement in the dam's overall safety and maintenance protocols.
