Summary
Designed by KING ENGINEERING, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction, with additional functions including debris control. With a dam height of 28.5 feet and a length of 450 feet, the structure provides a maximum storage capacity of 83.6 acre-feet and a normal storage of 19.6 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been inspected since May 2003 and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
The Gs Dd No C-133 dam, part of the Kansas City District, has a spillway width of 65 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 780 cubic feet per second. While the dam itself is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, it lacks outlet gates and is considered uncontrolled in terms of spillway type. The structure is not regulated by the state, with no state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, or enforcement in place. The risk management measures for the dam remain unspecified, and it has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) as of yet.
Overall, Gs Dd No C-133 represents a vital component in the flood risk reduction efforts in Jackson County, Kansas. As a locally owned structure with no federal agency involvement, its importance lies in protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation events. However, with limited recent inspections and condition assessments, there is a need for increased monitoring and maintenance to ensure the continued safety and functionality of this critical water resource infrastructure.

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.
