Summary
Built in 1960, this private earth dam stands at a height of 16.1 feet and has a storage capacity of 52.3 acre-feet, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition, with the last inspection conducted in April 2017.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, General Agricultural Services Dam 4026 plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a drainage area of 0.8 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 26.7 acre-feet, this structure is essential for maintaining the safety and security of the community. While the dam's condition is a concern, regular inspections and enforcement by state regulatory agencies help ensure its continued functionality.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and extreme weather events become more frequent, the importance of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure like General Agricultural Services Dam 4026 cannot be overstated. By investing in the necessary repairs and improvements, authorities can enhance the dam's resilience and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks, ultimately safeguarding the local ecosystem and agricultural lands from potential disaster.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
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.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
