Indian Creek 9-11 is a local government-owned dam in Gage, Nebraska, designed by USDA NRCS and regulated by NE DNR. Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, it also serves other purposes and has a low hazard potential. The dam, located on TR-TOWN CREEK, plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Despite its importance, Indian Creek 9-11 is currently in poor condition, as indicated by a recent inspection in June 2020. The dam has a drainage area of 0.3 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 1000 cubic feet per second. It covers a surface area of 4 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 11 acre-feet. Even though it has not been modified in recent years, regular inspections are carried out to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is unclear, raising concerns about its ability to meet guidelines for risk management and response. With its vital role in flood risk reduction and water resource management, efforts to address the dam's poor condition and ensure proper emergency preparedness are essential for the safety and well-being of the surrounding community and environment.
