Dd No 109, located in Olpe, Kansas, is a local government-owned Earth dam completed in 2003 for the primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond. With a dam height of 18 feet and a length of 850 feet, it has a storage capacity of 154.96 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5.8 acres. The dam is situated on Eagle Creek-TR, within Lyon County, Kansas, and falls under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and moderate risk level, Dd No 109 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and has no outlet gates. However, it does not have a state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, inspections, or enforcement. The last recorded inspection date was in July 2008, and the dam is located in a relatively rural area with limited risk management measures in place.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Dd No 109 an interesting case study due to its unique purpose as a Fish and Wildlife Pond and its moderate risk assessment. The lack of recent condition assessments and regulatory oversight could raise concerns about its long-term safety and maintenance. Further research and monitoring of this dam could provide valuable insights into the management of similar structures in rural settings, especially in relation to potential impacts on local ecosystems and water resources.
