Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a capacity to store up to 426 acre-feet of water. Despite its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, the dam also serves as a vital resource for water storage and management in the region.
The dam's structural integrity has been assessed as poor during the last inspection in May 2018, with a hazard potential rated as low. The dam is under the regulatory oversight of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, which ensures regular inspections and enforcement of safety measures. Although the dam is in need of maintenance and improvement, its strategic location and design continue to play a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
With its proximity to Oakland and the support of local government ownership, Mckenzie Dam 2130 serves as a key infrastructure for mitigating flood risks and managing water resources in Burt County. As climate change impacts continue to affect water availability and extreme weather events, the maintenance and enhancement of this dam are essential for safeguarding the community and environment against potential hazards. Collaborative efforts between state agencies and stakeholders will be crucial in ensuring the long-term functionality and effectiveness of this important water resource structure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
