Summary
Completed in 1999, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a structural height of 20 feet, with a length of 2105 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 49 acre-feet, making it a crucial component in the local water infrastructure.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Feller Lagoon 1 Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safe operation and maintenance. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regularly assessed and deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in May 2018. With a drainage area of 0.1 square miles and situated on the TR-ELKHORN RIVER, this dam plays a vital role in flood control and water supply management in the region.
Congressional District 01 in Nebraska, represented by Jeff Fortenberry, is home to Feller Lagoon 1 Dam, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its strategic location and significant contribution to water resource management, this dam serves as a key infrastructure asset for the community while also highlighting the importance of sustainable water and climate management practices in the region.

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.
