Summary
Paul, Kansas, the Farm Pond (Stockwater) serves as a vital resource for fire protection, stock, and small fish. Built in 1993, this earth dam structure spans 1160 feet in length and stands at a height of 12.5 feet, providing a storage capacity of 71.72 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 19.22 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.67 acres, this pond plays a crucial role in supporting the agricultural activities in the area.
Managed by private owners, the Farm Pond (Stockwater) is not regulated by the state and has a low hazard potential. Despite not having a formal condition assessment, the dam has been deemed as not rated in terms of its condition. While the structure has not been modified in recent years, it continues to serve its intended purposes effectively. The pond's location along Walnut Creek-TR ensures a reliable source of water for irrigation and livestock in the region.
Although the Farm Pond (Stockwater) does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, its significance in providing water for agricultural needs cannot be understated. With its strategic location and ample storage capacity, this pond stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management in Crawford County, Kansas.

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.
