Dd No 101, located in Cowley County, Kansas, is a local government-owned earth dam designed by BOOKER/FREUND, INC. It was completed in 1994 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Snake Creek. Standing at 48 feet tall and stretching 1150 feet in length, this dam provides a storage capacity of 2772 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 50.8 acres. The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 101 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 200 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 5430 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone any recent inspections since August 2011. With its critical role in flood risk reduction and water resource management, Dd No 101 serves as a vital infrastructure for the local community and surrounding areas.
