Dd No 7-12 is a local government-owned dam located in Burdett, Kansas, along the Pawnee River. The dam, designed by USDA-SCS, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction, with a dam height of 36 feet and a length of 3800 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 4674 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 480 acre-feet and a surface area of 76 acres. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a condition assessment that is currently not rated.

The dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. It is situated in a region with a drainage area of 46.55 square miles and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 450 feet. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have outlet gates. While the dam has not been assessed for Emergency Action Plan preparedness, it meets state regulatory guidelines and has not had any inundation maps prepared. Overall, Dd No 7-12 presents a significant asset for flood risk reduction in the area, but requires continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
