Dd No. 33 is a local government-owned dam located in Delia, Kansas, along the Little Cross Creek-TR. Built in 2008 by Professional Engineering Consultants, P.A. and Joe File, this earth dam stands at a height of 27.5 feet and has a length of 850 feet, serving primarily for flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 141.29 acre-feet, the dam has a spillway width of 120 feet and a maximum discharge of 4481.8 cubic feet per second.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Dd No. 33 has not been inspected since November 2011 and lacks a condition assessment. This raises concerns about the maintenance and safety of the dam, especially considering its importance in debris control and flood risk reduction for the local community. With no emergency action plan in place and limited risk management measures identified, there is a need for improved oversight and monitoring to ensure the dam's continued functionality and safety.

Given the critical role Dd No. 33 plays in protecting the surrounding area from flooding and debris, it is essential for the local government and relevant agencies to prioritize regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness measures. The dam's significance in mitigating flood risks underscores the importance of proactive management and investment to ensure its long-term effectiveness and safety for the community and environment it serves.
