Wilson Creek 1-F is a vital flood risk reduction structure located in Otoe, Nebraska, along the TR-N FK LITTLE NEMAHA RIVER. Built in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a length of 947 feet, providing a storage capacity of 564 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 133 acre-feet and a low hazard potential, Wilson Creek 1-F plays a crucial role in mitigating potential flooding in the area.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Wilson Creek 1-F undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in June 2016, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently unavailable, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and preparedness in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
Situated within the Kansas City District, Wilson Creek 1-F serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government agencies and the USDA NRCS in safeguarding the region against flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is imperative to recognize the importance of such structures in maintaining the resilience of our communities in the face of changing environmental conditions.
