Sieber Dam, located in Fillmore, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Completed in 1963, this earth dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction on TR-DRY SANDY CREEK, with a height of 13 feet and a length of 470 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 121 acre-feet and a normal storage of 22 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 9 acres and draining an area of 1 square mile.

Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Sieber Dam is subject to regular inspections every 5 years, with the last assessment conducted in June 2016. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unspecified, suggesting a need for further preparedness and mitigation efforts. With its critical role in flood risk reduction within the region, continued monitoring and maintenance of Sieber Dam are essential to ensure its effectiveness in protecting the surrounding community from potential water resource and climate-related challenges.
