Summary
This dam stands at a height of 31 feet and spans a length of 360 feet, with a storage capacity of 256.12 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 34.33 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as not assessed for condition.
The state-regulated Dd No A-2 (Tri-Creek) falls under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Department of Agriculture, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 40 feet, and it has no outlet gates or associated structures. The risk assessment for this dam indicates a moderate level of risk (3), with risk management measures and emergency action plans yet to be updated or prepared.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the infrastructure of Dd No A-2 (Tri-Creek) will find its design and purpose for flood risk reduction intriguing. This dam, located in Wilson County, Kansas, plays a crucial role in managing water flow along Chetopa Creek-TR and serves as a vital component in the local flood control system. With its regulated status and moderate risk level, there is a clear need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the dam's effectiveness in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
