Summary
Standing at a height of 23 feet with a structural height of 31 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other," with a storage capacity of 413 acre-feet and a surface area of 20 acres. The dam is situated on TR-BEAVER CREEK and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of October 2019, the Ridgetop Farms Boone Finisher Lagoon Dam provides essential water resource management for the surrounding area. The dam's location in a rural setting underscores its importance in controlling water flow and storage, particularly in times of heavy rainfall or flooding. Emergency action plans and risk management measures may be in place to address any potential issues that could arise, with regular inspections and maintenance contributing to its overall safety and functionality.
As part of the larger water infrastructure network in Nebraska, the Ridgetop Farms Boone Finisher Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Its presence on TR-BEAVER CREEK helps to protect downstream areas from flooding and supports agricultural activities in the region. With state jurisdiction and regulation ensuring its proper operation, this earth dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts to safeguard water resources and mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events in the area.

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.
