Brezina Dam, located in Butler County, Nebraska, is a vital water management structure designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1971. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 20.7 feet, with a storage capacity of 160.6 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.5 acres. It serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and other water resource management functions along the TR-BONE CREEK. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and efficiency.

Despite its low hazard potential, Brezina Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of June 2017, prompting the need for potential maintenance and improvements. The dam has a regular inspection frequency of every 5 years to monitor its structural integrity and functionality. While the dam has not experienced any significant modifications or incidents, its emergency action plan and risk assessment measures may need to be updated to meet current guidelines and ensure proper management in case of emergencies. As a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, the Brezina Dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from potential water-related risks and impacts.
