Loomis Dam, located in Morrill, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction on the TR-RED WILLOW CREEK. Completed in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 869 feet, providing a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet. With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of October 2020, the dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections.

Despite its age, Loomis Dam continues to serve its primary purpose of flood risk reduction effectively. The dam's hydraulic height matches its structural height at 20 feet, ensuring its ability to manage water levels during heavy rainfall or snowmelt events. The dam's location in Bridgeport, Nebraska, makes it a crucial piece of infrastructure in the area, protecting residents and agricultural lands from potential flooding.

Maintaining a fair condition and meeting state regulatory standards, Loomis Dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding community from the impacts of extreme weather events. With a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.7 square miles, the dam remains a key asset in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region.
