Centerfield Dam, located in Seward, Nebraska, is a private structure designed by the USDA NRCS to mitigate flood risk in the area. Completed in 1970, the dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a length of 550 feet, with a storage capacity of 253 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, and it is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources.

Despite its low hazard potential, Centerfield Dam is currently in poor condition as of the last assessment in 2017. The dam's inspection frequency is set at every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in May 2017. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are currently not available, indicating potential areas for improvement in terms of emergency preparedness and maintenance.

Overall, Centerfield Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding, but there is a need for regular maintenance and improvements to ensure its continued effectiveness. As a key infrastructure in flood risk management, stakeholders should work together to address the dam's poor condition and enhance emergency response preparedness to safeguard the community and environment in the face of climate uncertainties.
