Summary
Completed in 1973, the dam serves as a crucial structure for managing water resources in the area, with a primary purpose categorized as "Other". The dam is situated on the TR-Little Sandy Creek, within the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Luecke Lake Dam is considered to have a high hazard potential, although its condition assessment is currently not rated. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not specified in the available data. With a surface area of 15 acres and a drainage area of 470 square miles, the dam plays an important role in water storage and management in the region, contributing to the overall climate resilience and water security.
While specific details regarding the dam's inspection frequency, emergency preparedness, and risk management measures are not provided, its critical role in water resource management cannot be understated. As an essential infrastructure for the local community, Luecke Lake Dam represents a significant asset in the region's efforts to address water resource challenges and adapt to a changing climate. Enthusiasts and experts in water resources and climate science can appreciate the complex interplay of factors involved in the operation and maintenance of this important Earth dam.

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.
