Completed in 1969, this dam stands at a height of 39 feet with a hydraulic height of 36 feet and a structural height of 40 feet. With a storage capacity of 423 acre-feet and a normal storage of 73 acre-feet, Wilson Creek 2-Y covers a surface area of 10 acres and has a drainage area of 1.1 square miles.
Despite its importance in flood risk reduction, Wilson Creek 2-Y is currently assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2016, with a low hazard potential. The dam has a history of being state-regulated and permitted by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with inspections and enforcement also carried out by state agencies. With a history of modifications and regular inspections, Wilson Creek 2-Y remains a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources and climate-related risks in the region, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and improvements to ensure its effectiveness in mitigating flood hazards.
