The USACE evaluates risk as a combination of the flood hazard frequency, the anticipated levee performance, and the potential consequences. A screening level risk assessment was completed on this levee in 2017. The screening level risk assessment estimated the likelihood of a Kansas River flood overtopping this levee in any given year at approximately 0.2%, or a one chance in 500. Overtopping was identified as the primary flooding risk, however all levees have the potential to breach prior to water flowing over the top. The USACE anticipates there being sufficient warning time to evacuate the area prior to water reaching the top of this levee. However, levee breaches prior to water reaching the top often have very short warning times. The risk assessment identified some performance concerns prior to water overtopping the levee under large flooding events. With the 2019 Kansas City Levees Project, the USACE is further evaluating these issues and will be constructing improvements as needed, as well as raising the entire project. In 1993, the project was loaded to within a few feet of the top and performed as designed. The area behind the levee features significant residential and commercial development. The 2017 screening estimated a leveed area daytime population of approximately 6,700 people and a property value of approximately $1.9 Billion.
