Don Miller Dam, located in Hamilton County, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Completed in 1982, this earth dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes along the TR-W FK BIG BLUE RIVER. With a height of 15 feet and a length of 275 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. The last inspection was conducted in April 2019, with no major issues reported. While no emergency action plan or inundation maps have been prepared to date, the dam continues to meet regulatory guidelines and operate efficiently. Owned by a private entity, Don Miller Dam remains an essential component of the local water resource management infrastructure in Nebraska.
