Summary
Built in 1998, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans 615 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 471 acre-feet. Managed by the local government and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Dam 15-10-2w has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in May 2016.
With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, Dam 15-10-2w plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation during periods of increased discharge. Its hydraulic height of 31 feet and structural height of 38 feet ensure its effectiveness in managing water levels and mitigating flood risks. The dam's location within Congressional District 03, Nebraska, under the jurisdiction of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, highlights its significance in the local water resource management infrastructure.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Dam 15-10-2w undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its continued reliability and safety. With a drainage area of 3.3 square miles and a storage capacity of 121 acre-feet under normal conditions, this vital earth dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between local government agencies and state regulatory bodies in safeguarding communities against the impacts of extreme weather events and climate variability.

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.
