Summary
Built in 1976 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 49 feet and stretches 1550 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 4938 acre-feet and a drainage area of 15.6 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Thirty-Two Mile Creek H is meticulously inspected and regulated to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as satisfactory, and emergency action plans are in place to mitigate any risks. With a spillway width and other specific details not provided, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose of flood risk reduction effectively.
Situated within the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Thirty-Two Mile Creek H serves as a cornerstone for water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and vital role in protecting the local community, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
