Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and stretches for 960 feet, with a capacity to store 62 acre-feet of water. Situated on the TR-PLUM CREEK, it serves as a valuable resource for the local community in Liberty, providing essential water storage and flood control benefits.
Despite its significance, Bodie Dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition, with a low hazard potential. The last inspection in June 2020 revealed issues that demand attention for the structure to remain functional and safe. Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its integrity and the safety of downstream areas. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is a need to monitor and address the condition of Bodie Dam to continue benefiting from its multiple purposes and mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation.
