Summary
Completed in 1998, the dam stands at 36 feet high and stretches 990 feet in length, providing a maximum storage capacity of 262 acre-feet with a normal storage capacity of 41.7 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment.
The dam at Site 110 has a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1252 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a moderate risk level, the dam has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date. The last inspection date was in April 2010, with an inspection frequency of 0. The dam does not have outlet gates and is not associated with any other structures.
Located in a picturesque setting in Kansas, Site 110 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area. With its strategic design and low hazard potential, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Site 110 to be an intriguing example of engineering ingenuity in harnessing the power of water for the greater good.

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.
