Gs Dd No 9-4 is a local government-owned dam located in Robinson, Kansas, along the Wolf River-TR. Constructed in 1995 by Bartlett & West, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 31 feet and spans 900 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 194 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the community by controlling debris and mitigating potential flooding risks in the area.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Gs Dd No 9-4 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its structural integrity and operational effectiveness. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently not rated. With no outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway, the dam's design focuses on managing water levels during peak discharge events to protect downstream areas and maintain the surrounding ecosystem.
As an essential infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience, Gs Dd No 9-4 plays a crucial role in safeguarding the community from potential flood hazards. With its strategic location and design features, this dam exemplifies the importance of proactive risk management and regulatory oversight to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in Brown County, Kansas.
