Dd No 35 is a local government-owned dam located in Brown County, Kansas, along the Pony Creek-TR river or stream. The dam was completed in 2001 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Standing at a height of 35.3 feet and stretching 1100 feet in length, Dd No 35 has a maximum storage capacity of 244 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 68.3 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 9.72 acres with a drainage area of 0.61 square miles.
Despite being assessed with a low hazard potential and not yet rated for condition assessment, Dd No 35 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 50 feet, capable of discharging a maximum flow of 1297 cubic feet per second. While the risk assessment for Dd No 35 indicates a moderate level of risk, measures for risk management, emergency action plans, and inundation maps are currently not available, presenting a potential area for improvement in the dam's overall safety and preparedness protocols.
Overall, Dd No 35 serves as a critical infrastructure for flood risk mitigation in the region, but there are opportunities for enhancing safety measures and emergency preparedness to ensure the continued protection of communities and resources downstream. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the regulatory oversight, risk assessment, and management of dams like Dd No 35 is crucial for advocating for sustainable water management practices and resilient infrastructure in the face of evolving climate challenges.
