Located in Coffey, Kansas, the 94-001 dam on the Neosho River serves as a vital water resource for the city of Burlington. Built in 1996, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a length of 925 feet, providing a storage capacity of 150.5 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 82.6 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.53 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of water and preventing flooding in the region.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, the 94-001 dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated as of the last inspection in September 2009. With no emergency action plan in place, there is a need for continued monitoring and risk assessment to safeguard the surrounding communities from any potential threats posed by the dam.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the 94-001 dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices. With its strategic location on the Neosho River and its role in providing vital water storage capacity, this dam serves as a key asset for the city of Burlington and highlights the ongoing need for effective dam maintenance and risk management in the face of changing environmental conditions.
