Summary

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction, with additional functions including debris control. With a height of 19 feet and a length of 840 feet, Dd No 136 has a storage capacity of 336.44 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 46.76 acre-feet.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The last recorded inspection date was in October 1996, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. Although the condition assessment is not rated, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unknown.

Situated within the Kansas City District and under the jurisdiction of the state of Kansas, Dd No 136 plays a crucial role in managing flood risks and protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation. With its strategic location and design features, this dam represents a vital component of water resource management in the region, contributing to the overall resilience of the local community and environment.

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.
