Summary
Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet for purposes such as fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. The dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspection and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of April 2017, Kucera Dam 2058 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Despite its modest size, the dam serves as a vital component in the local ecosystem, providing essential water storage and flood control benefits. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Kucera Dam 2058 will be increasingly important in maintaining water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
As water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates, it is essential to recognize the significance of structures like Kucera Dam 2058 in safeguarding our water supply and mitigating the effects of climate change. By supporting responsible management and maintenance of such dams, we can ensure a sustainable water future for generations to come, while also protecting the surrounding ecosystems and communities that rely on these valuable resources.

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.
