Site No 16, located in Wabaunsee, Kansas, is a privately owned earth dam with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. The dam, designed by Charles W Naylor, stands at a height of 33.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 137.76 acre-feet. With a surface area of 6.6 acres and a drainage area of 0.34 square miles, the dam contributes to the management of water resources in the area.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Site No 16 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state, ensuring that it meets safety standards and poses a low hazard potential. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam continues to serve its purpose effectively. With no associated structures and no outlet gates, the site remains a key feature in the protection and utilization of water resources in the region.

Although the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures, its presence along the Snokomo Creek-TR underscores its importance for fire protection and stock maintenance. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, Site No 16 stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to manage and protect water resources for future generations.
