Chadron Dam 2 in Nebraska, completed in 1962, serves as a vital water supply for the region, with a storage capacity of 218 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 107 acre-feet. The dam stands at 12 feet high and stretches 2930 feet in length, constructed primarily of earth and stone materials. Located on Chadron Creek in Dawes County, this dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, ensuring state regulation, inspection, and enforcement for its operation and maintenance.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Chadron Dam 2 is assessed to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in September 2016. With a five-year inspection frequency, the dam has not undergone modifications in recent years and does not have any associated structures or outlet gates. While the dam is not owned or funded by any federal agencies, it continues to play a crucial role in providing water resources to the local community and contributes to the overall water management efforts in the area. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Chadron Dam 2 stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure to ensure the sustainability and safety of water sources in the region.
