Post Dam, located in Banner, Nebraska, is a privately-owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS to reduce flood risks along the TR-Pumpkinseed Creek. Completed in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 416 feet, with a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet. The dam serves its primary purpose of flood risk reduction and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources.

With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, Post Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. It covers a drainage area of 0.55 square miles and has a maximum discharge capacity of 1622 cubic feet per second. Although its spillway type and width are not specified, the dam's strategic location and design contribute to its effectiveness in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.

Despite not being under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Post Dam undergoes regular inspections and is operated in compliance with state regulatory standards. With its impact on the local hydrology and environment, the dam stands as a testament to efficient water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Nebraska's rural landscape.
