Summary
Built in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a length of 213 feet, providing a storage capacity of 157 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
Situated on TR-ELK CREEK in the Omaha District, Bogle Dam 2 serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, with a drainage area of 2.5 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 225 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated. Emergency action plans and risk assessment measures are yet to be fully developed, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks associated with the dam.
As a key component of water management infrastructure in the region, Bogle Dam 2 plays a crucial role in providing essential services such as fire protection and livestock watering. With its modest storage capacity and low hazard potential, this dam serves as a valuable resource for the community while also highlighting the need for continued regulatory oversight and risk management to ensure its long-term resilience in the face of changing climate conditions and increasing water demands.

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.
