This dam is privately owned and stands at a height of 30 feet, with a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. It sits along the TR to Little Spring Creek, within the Kansas City District, and is classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type.
Despite its low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the Koedding Lake Dam does not fall under state regulation or inspection. With no associated structures and no emergency action plan in place, this dam presents a unique case for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor. As it serves multiple purposes and holds a significant amount of water in its reservoir, the maintenance and potential risks associated with this privately owned structure are worth observing.
