Hunzeker Dam, located in Richardson County, Nebraska, is a private Earth dam primarily designed for flood risk reduction on TR-Winnebago Creek. Completed in 1980, this dam stands at a height of 30.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 39.6 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 8 acre-feet. The dam spans 400 feet in length and covers a surface area of 2.9 acres, serving as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NE DNR), Hunzeker Dam is inspected regularly with a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated. Despite its modest risk level, the dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not explicitly outlined in the available data, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk mitigation.
With its strategic location and purposeful design, Hunzeker Dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. As a key component of the regional flood control system, this dam serves as a critical asset for safeguarding the community and ecosystems along TR-Winnebago Creek, underscoring the essential role of infrastructure in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change on water resources.
