Summary

Built in 1986, this earth dam stands at 26 feet high and spans 700 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 835 acre-feet and a normal storage of 277 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving the community by safeguarding against potential water-related disasters.

Maintained by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Dam 35-11-6 is in satisfactory condition with a low hazard potential. The dam has undergone regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in September 2019. While there have been no significant modifications or additions to the structure in recent years, the local government ensures that the necessary state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures are in place to uphold the dam's integrity and safety standards.

With a strategic location in Congressional District 03, Nebraska, Dam 35-11-6 plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts within the region. As a vital piece of infrastructure for flood risk reduction, this dam stands as a testament to the proactive measures taken by local authorities to protect communities and the environment from the impacts of extreme weather events.

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. 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

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, 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.
