Summary
Completed in 1965, this structure stands at 26 feet high with a dam length of 1150 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 6 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1023 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Located in the TR-Mud Creek watershed, Mud Creek 2-F is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving as a key infrastructure for mitigating potential water-related disasters in the region. The structure's stone core and soil foundation contribute to its structural integrity, while its maximum discharge capacity of 4346 cubic feet per second ensures effective flood control measures.
Maintaining a proactive approach to dam safety, Mud Creek 2-F undergoes regular inspections every five years, with the last assessment conducted in April 2019. Despite its age, the dam's condition remains satisfactory, reflecting responsible ownership and management practices by the local government. As a vital component of the water resource management system in Gage County, this earth dam continues to play a crucial role in safeguarding the community from potential flood risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices in the area.

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.
