The earthen dam, with a core type of buttress, has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres. Situated on TR-Cedar Creek, the dam poses a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition.
Owned privately, Frederick Lake Dam is not regulated by the state and has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam does not have an emergency action plan in place, raising concerns about the lack of preparedness in the event of a dam failure. The dam's location in Chateau Springs and its proximity to Kansas City District add to its significance for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in monitoring infrastructure and environmental impacts in the region.
