Summary
Completed in 2000, this earth dam with stone core serves multiple purposes and is owned and regulated by a private entity. With a height of 30 feet and a length of 480 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 78 acre-feet, contributing to the conservation and management of water in the area.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the Frontier Farms Farrow Lagoon Dam has been inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment further underscore its importance as a reliable infrastructure for water storage and management. Additionally, the dam's location along the TR-West Muddy Creek contributes to its significance in the watershed system, supporting agricultural activities and environmental sustainability in the region.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the Frontier Farms Farrow Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in mitigating potential risks and ensuring water security for local communities. With state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight in place, the dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management and the collaboration between private owners and state agencies in safeguarding critical infrastructure for a sustainable future.

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.
