Summary
Completed in 2000, this Earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans a length of 2120 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for "Other" purposes and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state inspection and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of March 2016, Premium Farms Pruden 2 Lagoon Dam is designed with a stone core and rests on a soil foundation. The dam's normal storage capacity is 48 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 5 acres. Although no spillway information is provided, the dam has not undergone modifications and does not feature outlet gates. The inspection frequency is set at 5 years, highlighting the commitment to monitoring and maintaining the dam's integrity for water resource and climate enthusiasts who value sustainable water management practices.
Located in Holt County, Nebraska, Premium Farms Pruden 2 Lagoon Dam is under the jurisdiction of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Managed by private owners, this essential infrastructure is a vital component in the local water management system, contributing to the conservation and regulation of water resources in the region. As climate change impacts become increasingly prevalent, the dam's role in mitigating potential risks and ensuring water security for the surrounding community underscores its significance in the broader context of sustainable water resource management initiatives.

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.
