About K & K Producers

The primary purpose of K & K Producers is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by K & K Producers (private). It impounds the Tr-platte River near Edgerton.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 350 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 19 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 250 square miles. Completed in 1992, the structure is 34 years old.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.

At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
