Coal Creek Dam, located in Allen County, Kansas, is a privately owned concrete buttress dam built on Coal Creek. With a dam height of 11 feet and a length of 113 feet, it provides a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet and a surface area of 21.6 acres. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other" and it is regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, Coal Creek Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level. It has not been rated for condition assessment and lacks Emergency Action Plan preparation. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 57 feet, allowing for a maximum discharge of 960 cubic feet per second. The risk management measures and potential inundation maps for the dam are yet to be prepared and updated, highlighting the need for further attention and evaluation from water resource and climate enthusiasts.
