failure may cause extensive loss
of life, serious damage to homes,
industrial and commercial
facilities, important public utilities,
main highways or railroads. It is
important to note that a high
hazard dam is not necessarily
unsafe, as defined by the State of
Kansas. An individual dam’s
hazard classification is based
upon the potential consequences
of dam failure and does not reflect
the physical condition of the dam.
Preparing for a potential
emergency is an essential
planning step to secure the people
and property downstream from a
potential breach or dam failure.
There are also an estimated 48
levees reported in the county,
of which four (4) are owned by the
county. Ownership for the
remaining levees is listed as
unknown.
19 Seek funding to complete a
stormwater drainage study for
Leavenworth County that will lead
to a stormwater management
ordinance that maintains predevelopment
runoff rates. The
study should include an evaluation
of existing dams/levee systems,
vulnerable streams, and other
major waterways in the county
that may impact growth patterns
established for the county.
Stormwater management best
practices for Leavenworth are
addressed in the Leavenworth
County Land Use Plan. According
to the Plan, guidance is to protect
environmentally sensitive land and
maintain open space, and
adopting a stream setback policy
for all new developments. A
stormwater drainage study/plan
will identify drainage problems and
address solutions through
detention, retention, and drainage
system maintenance among other
specific mitigation measures.
