Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The dam spans 281 feet in length and is situated on the TR-E BR MUDDY CREEK, with a drainage area of 0.8 square miles.
Managed and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Robinson Dam 1715 has been deemed in satisfactory condition during its last inspection in April 2019. With a hydraulic height of 23 feet and a normal storage capacity of 21 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Its location in Arapahoe, Nebraska, underscores its importance in supporting agricultural activities in the area.
As a vital component of the local water infrastructure, Robinson Dam 1715 contributes to the efficient distribution of water for irrigation purposes, ensuring sustainable water use in the region. Its construction and maintenance are overseen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, highlighting the collaboration between private owners and government agencies to manage water resources effectively. With its strategic location and reliable performance, Robinson Dam 1715 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
