Moore Ochsner Dam, located in McCool Junction, Nebraska, was completed in 1982 by the USDA NRCS and is primarily used for irrigation purposes. This earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a structural height of 18 feet, with a storage capacity of 148 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-W FK BIG BLUE RIVER, the dam has a drainage area of 1.5 square miles and a maximum discharge of 196 cubic feet per second.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2018. It is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement. With a history of poor maintenance, the dam's condition assessment raises concerns for its long-term stability and functionality. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in the management and rehabilitation efforts needed to ensure the safety and efficiency of Moore Ochsner Dam for the surrounding agricultural community and ecosystem.
