The primary purpose of this earth dam is for grade stabilization, with a height of 31 feet and a length of 622 feet. It has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and serves the surrounding area with a low hazard potential.
Despite being privately owned, the dam has not been state regulated or inspected, with no enforcement or permitting requirements. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, with a width of 38 feet, and it has no outlet gates. The risk assessment for Duane Luna Dam is moderate, reflecting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam presents an interesting case study in private dam ownership and management within the Kansas City District.
