Summary
Built in 2008, this dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction and debris control purposes. With a height of 38 feet and a length of 1225 feet, Dd No 25 has a storage capacity of 445 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 43.6 acre-feet.
Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 25 has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam is regularly inspected, with the last inspection conducted in November 2008. It has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 60 feet and no outlet gates. The dam is situated in a relatively remote area with no associated structures and a limited surface area of 7.9 acres.
Overall, Dd No 25 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region and ensuring the safety of nearby communities. Its strategic location and design make it an essential piece of infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and study in the context of sustainable water management practices.

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.
