The dam, constructed with a stone core and soil foundation, spans a length of 230 feet and covers a surface area of 22 acres. It impounds water from the TR-Missouri River, with a drainage area of 0.4 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor as of June 2019, with a recommended inspection frequency of every five years. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are currently unspecified. The Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers does not have jurisdiction over this structure, but it is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. With its significant role in irrigation and water management, the Stratbucker Dam stands as a key resource in the region, highlighting the importance of effective maintenance and monitoring practices to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
