Summary
No. 11299026.02 is a privately owned dam located in Montgomery County, Kansas, along Drum Creek. Completed in 2004, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 242.5 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
The dam's primary purpose and associated structures are not specified, but it is noted that it has not been rated for its condition assessment. With a designer named Fisher, this buttress dam reflects a blend of engineering and environmental considerations in its construction. Although the dam lacks certain details such as spillway type and drainage area, its location within the Kansas City District suggests a strategic importance in managing water resources and mitigating potential climate impacts in the region.
Overall, Proj. No. 11299026.02 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in Montgomery County, Kansas. While it operates under a private ownership model, the dam's regulatory oversight by the state and its low hazard potential highlight the importance of balancing water needs with safety and environmental considerations. As climate change continues to influence water availability and quality, structures like this dam play a crucial role in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against potential risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
