Summary

The dam has a storage capacity of 153.07 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8.64 acres, serving a drainage area of 1.7 square miles. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition of the dam has not been rated and there is no information on its last inspection date.

The primary purpose of Sc 35r is listed as "Other", with no specific details provided on its intended use. The dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated or inspected by the state. It is situated within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, but is not owned or funded by any federal agency. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are all unknown, highlighting potential gaps in preparedness and safety protocols.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Sc 35r to be an intriguing case study due to its lack of comprehensive data and oversight. The dam's location in a rural area of Kansas, with no state jurisdiction or permitting requirements, raises questions about its management and maintenance practices. Further research and monitoring of Sc 35r could provide valuable insights into the challenges and vulnerabilities facing privately owned dams in the United States, especially in terms of emergency preparedness and risk mitigation.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
