Frd No 5, located in Lincoln County, Kansas, along the South Branch of Spillman Creek, is a local government-owned structure designed by USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This earth dam, with a height of 33.3 feet and a length of 1200 feet, provides a storage capacity of 1393 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 3.84 square miles. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet, and despite being rated with a low hazard potential, it is regulated and inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

Although the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", it has a moderate risk level associated with it. The last inspection of Frd No 5 was conducted in June 1993, and it has not been modified or updated since. The dam does not have outlet gates and is not associated with any other structures. The risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps for this dam are not currently prepared or updated, indicating potential areas for improvement in the future to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this flood risk reduction structure along Spillman Creek.
