Summary

1570 is a private-owned flood risk reduction structure located in Andover, Kansas. Designed by POE & Associates, this earth dam stands at a height of 8 feet with a length of 800 feet, providing storage for up to 69 acre-feet of water from the Republican Creek-TR. The dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction and debris control, crucial for protecting the surrounding area from potential hazards.

With a significant hazard potential, Project No. 1570 is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety measures are up to standard. Despite being not rated in terms of condition assessment, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the region. Its location in Butler County, Kansas, makes it a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, contributing to the overall resilience against climate-related challenges.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the details of Project No. 1570 offer valuable insights into the management of flood risk and water storage in the area. With a focus on ensuring public safety and effective water management, this structure represents a collaborative effort between private ownership and regulatory agencies to mitigate potential hazards and protect the community from the impacts of extreme weather events. The continued monitoring and maintenance of Project No. 1570 demonstrate a commitment to sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
