Standing at a height of 20 feet, the dam offers a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres. With a drainage area of 890 acres, the dam is situated on the TR-MAY BROOK river stream and is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and lacks information on emergency action preparedness. The condition assessment remains unknown, and there is no data available on the last inspection date or the frequency of inspections. Additionally, the dam does not have an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or updated emergency contacts, raising concerns about its readiness in case of a potential hazard event. As a site of recreational enjoyment, the Little Blue Road Dam's risk management measures and adherence to guidelines for emergency preparedness warrant further evaluation to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and visitors.
