Summary
The dam is primarily used for purposes other than water storage, with a height of 20 feet and a length of 930 feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level.
The dam is situated on Leeds Draw-TR, within the Kansas City District, and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Kansas. It has a spillway width of 30 feet and no associated locks or gates. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in February 2011, with a condition assessment of "not rated." The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with no specific risk management measures listed.
Double D Feedyard is a notable structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its unique design and purpose. The dam's location in Kansas, its low hazard potential, and moderate risk level make it an interesting case study for those interested in water infrastructure and management. Further research and monitoring of this structure could provide valuable insights into dam safety and maintenance practices in the region.

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.
