Vance Dam, located in Webster, Nebraska, along the TR-Little Blue River, was completed in 1961 by USDA NRCS. This earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans 365 feet in length, with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, or a small fish pond. The dam has a storage capacity of 65.5 acre-feet and serves as a crucial resource for water management in the area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Vance Dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with the last inspection in September 2019. The dam is under state jurisdiction and regulation by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment are currently unknown, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

Vance Dam not only provides essential water storage for fire protection and agriculture but also contributes to the local ecosystem and recreational opportunities. With its historical significance and natural resources conservation role, ongoing efforts are needed to address the poor condition assessment and ensure the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource for the community and environment.
