Halsey Dam, located in Red Willow County, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Completed in 1935, this earth dam stands at a height of 20.9 feet, with a length of 310 feet and a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Beaver Creek, the dam serves as a vital component in mitigating potential flood hazards in the region.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Halsey Dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in 2018. The dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment status remain unspecified, but regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. With a drainage area of 0.57 square miles and a maximum discharge of 355 cubic feet per second, Halsey Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding communities from potential flooding events.

In collaboration with federal agencies such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service and state entities like NE DNR, Halsey Dam exemplifies the importance of coordinated efforts in water resource management and climate resilience. As a key infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the region, this earth dam stands as a testament to the ongoing commitment to safeguarding communities, ecosystems, and vital water sources in Nebraska.
