Burr Dam, located in Nebraska along the TR-N FK LITTLE NEMAHA RIVER, was completed in 1978 with a primary purpose of irrigation. Designed by RAYMOND KUBIE and USDA NRCS, this private dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet. The dam, constructed with an earth core and stone foundation, spans a length of 585 feet and covers a surface area of 6 acres.

Despite its crucial role in irrigation, Burr Dam is currently in poor condition as per the last assessment in June 2019. The dam is regulated and inspected by the NE DNR, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement conducted by the state. The dam's hazard potential and risk assessment information are not available, and emergency preparedness measures such as an EAP are yet to be determined. Given its importance for water resource management in the region, it is imperative to address the dam's structural integrity and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality and safety for the surrounding community and environment.
