Summary

Completed in 1995, this dam has a height of 39 feet and a length of 540 feet, providing a storage capacity of 343.67 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Drum Creek-TR and serves as a low hazard potential structure with a condition assessment that is currently not rated.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Mtm 1 undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. With a normal storage capacity of 155.61 acre-feet and a surface area of 21.09 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the local area. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam serves as a vital asset for fire protection and stock water supply in the region.

The location of Mtm 1 in Neosho County, Kansas, highlights its importance in water resource management for the community. With its strategic position and functional design, this dam stands as a testament to the collaboration between private ownership and state regulatory agencies in ensuring the efficient use of water resources for various purposes. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mtm 1 serves as a fascinating example of how infrastructure can support both human needs and environmental sustainability in a changing climate.

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.
