Yearling Dam, located in Richardson County, Nebraska, was completed in 1955 by the USDA NRCS and is currently owned and regulated by a private entity. The dam, primarily designed for flood risk reduction, stands at a height of 29 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet and a structural height of 31 feet. It spans 480 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 0.3 square miles along the TR-LONG BRANCH river or stream.

Despite its low hazard potential, Yearling Dam received a poor condition assessment during its last inspection in March 2020. The dam is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with enforcement and permitting responsibilities falling under the state's jurisdiction. While the dam's emergency action plan and risk management measures are not specified in the data, its location and design highlight its importance in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Yearling Dam presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned earth dam with a significant role in local water management efforts.
