Campbell Dam 1446 dam
Campbell Dam 1446
Campbell Dam 1446, located in Stockville, Nebraska, is a private earth dam completed in 1962 for fire protection, livestock, or as a small fish pond. With a height of 25 feet and a length of 186 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 121 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 1.5 square miles. The dam's primary purpose is to provide essential water resources for fire protection and agricultural activities in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Campbell Dam 1446 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. With a low hazard potential, this dam has not been rated for its condition and was last inspected in June 2018. Despite being a private structure, Campbell Dam 1446 plays a significant role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area, demonstrating the importance of small-scale dams in supporting local communities and ecosystems.
Situated along the TR-Medicine Creek, Campbell Dam 1446 is part of the Omaha District and falls under Congressional District 03, Nebraska, represented by Adrian Smith. While its exact spillway type and dimensions are not specified, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 2348 cubic feet per second. As an integral part of the region's water infrastructure, Campbell Dam 1446 highlights the intersection of water resource management, climate adaptation, and community resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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 Campbell Dam 1446
Where does the data for Campbell Dam 1446 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.
