Summary
The dam was completed in 1997 with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Roys Creek-Tr river or stream. With a height of 35 feet and a length of 600 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 123.6 acre-feet, providing essential debris control and flood protection for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Gs Dd No 2-35 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. While the dam has a low hazard potential, it is rated as moderate risk (3), necessitating ongoing risk assessment and potential risk management measures. Despite its age, the dam remains in good condition and has not been modified since its completion, showcasing its reliability in mitigating flood risks and protecting the local community in Brown County, Kansas.
With its strategic location and effective design, Gs Dd No 2-35 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the region, demonstrating the importance of proper dam management and maintenance in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the key features and regulatory oversight of dams like Gs Dd No 2-35 is essential for promoting sustainable water management practices and ensuring the safety and well-being of communities in flood-prone areas.

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.
