Record

Ksnoname 83

Ksnoname 83 listed Low as its hazard class, with no published condition assessment, as of October 30, 2026, according to the National Inventory of Dams.

Federal ID KS00083, in Smith, Kansas. The NID counts it as a dam record.

Hazard class and condition, each as the NID defines it

Hazard class

Hazard Potential Classification
Low

“Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner’s property.”

The NID defines the field: “Category to indicate the potential hazard to the downstream area resulting from failure or mis-operation of the dam or facilities. It reflects probable loss of human life and impacts on economic, environmental, and lifeline interests. The hazard potential does not speak to the condition of the dam or the risk of the dam failing.”

Condition

Condition Assessment
Not published: no condition assessment in the NID
Condition Assessment Date
Not given

The NID defines the field: “Assessment that best describes the condition of the dam based on available information.”

A condition the NID does not publish is not a rating, and it says nothing either way about the dam.

The record, as the NID prints it

Each field is under the NID’s own label, with the unit the label names. A date later than the file’s own is printed as the NID prints it. The record’s own date is October 6, 2026; the file’s is October 30, 2026.

Inundation maps

Inundation Maps Added to NID?
No

The NID’s file records whether inundation maps were added and holds no link to them, so this page links none. The National Inventory of Dams viewers are the NID’s place to look.

    Arrests as the FBI’s participating agencies reported them, with what the figures can and cannot support at the top.

  • Hate crime Crime and justice

    Incidents reported to the FBI by bias motivation, as counts — the collection publishes no participation share, so there is no rate to compare states on.
