Vietti Pond, located in Bourbon, Kansas, is a private fish and wildlife pond that was completed in 2012. The dam, which is of earth and buttress type, stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 2368 feet. The pond has a maximum storage capacity of 169.49 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 15.99 acres with a drainage area of 0.17 square miles.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment, Vietti Pond is not regulated or inspected by the state. It does not have a designated emergency action plan or inundation maps in place, and its condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated". The pond's spillway is uncontrolled and measures 50 feet in width, with no outlet gates or associated structures.
Vietti Pond provides a valuable habitat for fish and wildlife in the area and serves as a recreational resource for enthusiasts. However, the lack of state regulation and inspection raises concerns about the pond's safety and emergency preparedness in the event of a natural disaster or other unforeseen circumstances. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this information intriguing as they consider the implications of unregulated dams on the environment and surrounding communities.
