Summary
Built in 1962 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at 32 feet in height and spans 1000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 666 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Mud Creek, this dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Mud Creek 2-C is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of May 2016, this dam is deemed to be in good shape to fulfill its primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Despite its age, Mud Creek 2-C continues to serve its community effectively.
With a drainage area of 1.4 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 71 acre-feet, Mud Creek 2-C is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 2249 cubic feet per second. Its strategic location and design make it a critical component in the overall water resource management system of the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data on Mud Creek 2-C highlights the importance of infrastructure like dams in mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events and safeguarding communities from potential flooding risks.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
