Summary
Standing at 16 feet high with a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, this dam spans 260 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Situated on TR-THAWES CREEK, this dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, Grove Dam 2048 is deemed to be in good standing. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently not available. The last inspection was conducted on April 26, 2018, with a frequency of 10 years. Adrian Smith (R) serves as the representative for the area where the dam is located, under the jurisdiction of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the role of this dam in providing essential services while ensuring safety and compliance with state regulations.

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.
