Summary
Completed in 2000, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet, with a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-BEAVER CREEK, it plays a significant role in regulating water flow and maintaining water levels, particularly during times of increased precipitation or drought.
Owned and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the Hakes Holstein Heaven Lagoon Dam is designed to withstand hydraulic pressures and has a satisfactory condition assessment. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam ensures the safety of the surrounding area by reducing the risk of flooding and protecting downstream communities. Despite its low hazard potential, regular inspections ensure that the dam's structural integrity remains intact to meet the water resource management needs of the region effectively.
Located in Beaver City, Nebraska, the Hakes Holstein Heaven Lagoon Dam represents a vital piece of infrastructure in the state's water resource management system. With its primary purpose being 'Other', this dam serves as a crucial component in the overall water management strategy for Furnas County. Its satisfactory condition, low hazard potential, and regulated inspection frequency make it a reliable asset in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the area for both agricultural and environmental purposes.

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.
