Dd No 28, located in Marshall, Kansas, is a local government-owned earth dam completed in 2013 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This structure, designed by CES Engineering, stands at a height of 25.7 feet and stretches 578 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 67.4 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.34 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in controlling debris and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.

Despite its low hazard potential, Dd No 28 is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and has a maximum discharge of 1025.6 cubic feet per second. The dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the need for further inspections to ensure its structural integrity. While the risk assessment categorizes the structure as moderate, continuous risk management measures are essential to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the local community from flood-related threats.

With its strategic location on Horseshoe Creek-TR and its ability to store 15.7 acre-feet of water under normal conditions, Dd No 28 serves as a valuable asset in flood control efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Dd No 28 becomes increasingly crucial in ensuring the safety and resilience of communities in the face of evolving weather patterns and increasing flood risks.
