It is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and serves primarily for recreational purposes. This earth dam with a buttress core stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 177 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 36 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the Coon Creek-TR river and covers a surface area of 5 acres, serving as a popular spot for outdoor activities.
Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, Dam 1 has not undergone any recent modifications and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The last inspection was conducted in 2013, with a frequency of 3 years. In case of any emergency, there are no outlet gates in place, which raises concerns regarding the management of potential risks and the safety of surrounding areas. Overall, Dam 1 poses a significant recreational value to the community while also highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and emergency planning for water resource management.
