Summary
Built in 1982, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and stretches 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 214 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam's inspection frequency of every five years ensures its structural integrity and safety.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Hubl Road Dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam's primary purpose, in addition to flood risk reduction, includes facilitating other water resource management activities. With a maximum discharge capacity of 650 cubic feet per second, the dam effectively manages water flow and drainage within its 1.6 square mile drainage area.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Hubl Road Dam stands as a testament to the importance of infrastructure in mitigating the impact of extreme weather events. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam exemplifies engineering ingenuity in balancing flood control needs with environmental considerations. Its location in Congressional District 03, Nebraska, underscores the collaborative effort between local and federal agencies in safeguarding communities against water-related risks.

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.
