Summary
Completed in 1968, this earth dam stands at 21 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a length of 170 feet. It has a storage capacity of 158 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 2.5 square miles.
Managed and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Hubl Dam 2 is inspected every five years and has been assessed as having a low hazard potential with a satisfactory condition. Its location along TR-DRY CREEK makes it a vital resource for the surrounding community, with a maximum discharge of 695 cubic feet per second. Despite its relatively small size, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for fire protection and livestock in the region.
As an essential part of the water infrastructure in the area, Hubl Dam 2 contributes to the overall water management efforts in Nebraska. Its efficient design and maintenance by the Natural Resources Conservation Service ensure that it continues to serve its primary purposes effectively. With its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition, this dam stands as a reliable asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable water management practices.

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.
