Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet, with a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 31 feet. It spans 267 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 26 acre-feet.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Schwindt Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition as of the last assessment in May 2017. The dam is subject to regular state inspection, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Situated on TR-BRUSH CREEK, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and agricultural development in the region, providing irrigation water for the surrounding area.

Though relatively small in size with a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 1.7 square miles, Schwindt Dam serves as a vital water infrastructure for the community.
