Anderson Dam 1152 dam
Anderson Dam 1152
Anderson Dam 1152, located in Dundy, Nebraska, is a private water reservoir designed by the USDA NRCS for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. Built in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 242 feet, providing a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet. Situated on TR-INDIAN CREEK, this structure is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular state inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Anderson Dam 1152 is considered a reliable asset for water resource management in the region. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 9 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1647 cubic feet per second, serving as a vital resource for local fire protection and agricultural needs. It is situated within the Omaha District and falls under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska state regulatory agency, ensuring that it meets all necessary standards for operation and maintenance.
Despite its modest size, Anderson Dam 1152 plays a crucial role in supporting the water needs of the surrounding area, serving as a testament to the importance of effective water resource management in mitigating the impacts of climate change. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, the accurate monitoring and maintenance of structures like Anderson Dam 1152 are essential for ensuring a sustainable and resilient water supply for both current and future generations.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Anderson Dam 1152
Where does the data for Anderson Dam 1152 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
