Located in Douglas, Kansas, the Dam structure was completed in 2008 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond maintenance. This private-owned Earth type dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a length of 400 feet, providing a storage capacity of 23 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the Dam is regulated and inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulatory standards.
With a moderate risk assessment rating, the Dam features an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 31 feet, and a surface area of 1.3 acres that drains a 0.08 square mile area. The structure does not have any outlet gates or associated locks, and its condition is currently not rated. While the Dam has not been assigned an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or undergone risk management measures, its risk potential is closely monitored to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and water resources.
The Dam, situated in the Tulsa District and under the jurisdiction of the state of Kansas, plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting against potential flooding in the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering and environmental considerations that have gone into the design and operation of this vital infrastructure, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for sustainable water management in the face of changing climate conditions.
