Dd No 114 is a local government-owned earth dam located in Newton, Kansas, along the Beaver Creek-TR. Built in 1994 by designer Larry Robins, this dam stands at a height of 18.3 feet and spans a length of 1340 feet, with a storage capacity of 126.7 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Dd No 114 does not have a state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, inspections, or enforcement.
While the dam has not been rated for its condition, it is noted to have a normal storage capacity of 28.4 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.7 acres. With a maximum discharge of 493 cubic feet per second, Dd No 114 features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet. The dam does not have any associated locks or outlet gates, and its emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are all currently unspecified.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in Dd No 114 for its unique design characteristics, location in a rural area of Harvey County, Kansas, and its role in managing water resources along Beaver Creek-TR. As a relatively low-hazard dam with a moderate risk assessment, this structure provides an intriguing case study for understanding the complexities of dam management and the importance of emergency preparedness in the face of potential risks.
