Hollman Road Dam dam
Hollman Road Dam
Hollman Road Dam, located in Platte, Nebraska, was completed in 1988 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a vital structure for flood risk reduction along TR-LOSEKE CREEK. The earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a structural height of 31 feet, with a length of 1600 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 30 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 1045 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 6 acres and drains a 0.8 square mile watershed.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection date in May 2018. Despite having no spillway type specified, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 77 cubic feet per second. The dam's primary purpose extends beyond flood risk reduction, serving as a critical component for other water resource management objectives in the region.
With the support of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and continuous state oversight, Hollman Road Dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management practices in Nebraska. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate resilience will find this dam to be a noteworthy example of infrastructure designed to mitigate flood risks and enhance water storage capabilities in the region.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Hollman Road Dam
Where does the data for Hollman Road Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
