Summary
Completed in 2003, this earth dam has a height of 15 feet and a length of 3046 feet, serving primarily for purposes other than flood control or irrigation. The dam has a storage capacity of 134 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres, with a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of October 2019.
Situated on the TR-Elkhorn River, the Ldi - East Place Lagoon 2 Dam plays a crucial role in the local water resource management, providing storage and regulating water flow within the drainage area of 0.2 square miles. Despite its modest size, the dam serves as a reliable infrastructure for maintaining water quality, supporting wildlife habitats, and potentially mitigating the impacts of climate change on the surrounding ecosystem. With state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, the dam ensures safety and compliance with inspection and enforcement measures.
As part of the Omaha District and Congressional District 01 in Nebraska, the Ldi - East Place Lagoon 2 Dam represents a collaborative effort between private ownership and state agencies to manage water resources effectively. With a designated inspection frequency of 5 years and a history of satisfactory condition assessments, the dam stands as a testament to responsible stewardship of water infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental challenges. Its strategic location and design underscore the importance of sustainable water management practices for the benefit of both present and future generations.

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.
