Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam dam
Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam
Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam, located in Greeley, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. This earth dam, completed in 1999, stands at 24 feet high and has a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose that falls under the "Other" category, indicating its role in water resource management beyond traditional uses.
The dam's condition assessment as of April 2016 rated it as "Fair" with a low hazard potential, suggesting a stable structure that poses minimal risk. With inspection frequency set at every 5 years, the dam has been deemed safe for continued operation. The location of Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam along TR-SPRING CREEK highlights its importance in managing water resources in the area, contributing to the overall ecological balance and climate resilience of the region.
As a key component of the water infrastructure in Congressional District 03, Nebraska, Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in flood control, irrigation, and water supply management. Its presence underscores the importance of private entities in maintaining and regulating water resources, ensuring sustainable practices for the benefit of both the environment and local communities.
Dam data reference
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 Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon Dam
Where does the data for Premium Farms Reimer West Lagoon 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.
