Summary
Despite being deemed as having a low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is moderate, indicating a need for careful monitoring and management.
The dam, with a spillway width of 25 feet and uncontrolled spillway type, has not been modified since its completion. Lbs Corporation's infrastructure does not include locks or outlet gates, and the inspection frequency is rated at 0, with the last inspection conducted in August 2005. The condition assessment of the dam is marked as "Not Rated," suggesting a need for further evaluation to ensure its structural integrity and functionality in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
With the risk assessment pointing towards moderate risk and the dam's condition yet to be rated, Lbs Corporation may need to consider implementing risk management measures and updating emergency action plans to ensure the safety and resilience of their water resource infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and addressing the potential risks associated with dams like the one owned by Lbs Corporation are crucial for sustainable water management and climate adaptation efforts in Kansas and beyond.

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.
