Summary
The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management, with a primary purpose of ensuring water availability for these activities. With a height of 16 feet and a length of 200 feet, Rezabek Dam has a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4 acres, drawing water from a drainage area of 0.7 square miles.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Rezabek Dam has a low hazard potential and has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in May 2017. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment measures are currently not available, but it is regularly inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With its strategic location on TR-Turkey Creek and the benefits it provides to the local community, Rezabek Dam stands as a vital water resource infrastructure for the region, contributing to water conservation and management efforts in Nebraska.

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.
