Summary

This Earth dam spans 800 feet with a height of 17 feet, providing a storage capacity of 71.23 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 3.79 acres and has a drainage area of 0.29 square miles, primarily sourced by Tomahawk Creek.

This water resource infrastructure serves as a critical component for irrigation purposes in Johnson County, Kansas, supporting agricultural activities in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 5209 cubic feet per second, Sprint Campus Lake 1 plays a vital role in water management and distribution, especially during dry seasons. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains satisfactory, ensuring its operational reliability and safety for the surrounding community.

Managed by a private entity, Sprint Campus Lake 1 undergoes regular inspections every 3 years to maintain its structural integrity and functionality. While lacking certain emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, the reservoir continues to meet the irrigation needs of the area effectively. As a key water resource in the region, its significance in sustaining agricultural activities underscores the importance of proper maintenance and risk management strategies for long-term sustainability.

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.
