Figure 3.74. Locations of Excessive Erosion of Farmland, 1997<br />

Source: Kansas Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2007<br />

Legend<br />

Red: 5,000 acres of highly erodible land<br />

Yellow: 5,000 acres of non-highly erodible land with excessive erosion above <strong>the</strong> tolerable soil erosion<br />

rate.<br />

Previous Occurrences<br />

No prior occurrences are on record for this region. Because <strong>the</strong> effects of soil erosion and dust<br />

are normally cumulative it is difficult to gauge when or if it has happened.<br />

Extent<br />

Magnitude: Negligible. Less than 10% of property is severely damaged. The effects of soil<br />

erosion and dust are generally realized over a period of time. The affects of single affects are<br />

negligible, however cumulatively <strong>the</strong>y can impact agricultural production, and raise health<br />

concerns.<br />

Probability of Future Events<br />

T<strong>here</strong> are no solid historical events that can give a good probability, which resulted in <strong>the</strong><br />

planning committee rating this hazard as “Possible” within <strong>the</strong> next five years.<br />
