Summary
Situated on Romberg Creek, the dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and other water resource management functions. With a height of 19 feet and a length of 630 feet, Landholm Dam has a storage capacity of 81 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 8 acres, making it a significant water management structure in the area.
Managed and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Landholm Dam is inspected every five years and was last assessed in October 2019, with a satisfactory condition rating. The dam's hydraulic height of 17 feet and structural height of 20 feet highlight its importance in controlling water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region. Additionally, its location in Cuming County, Nebraska, underscores its critical role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts.
With its strategic design and efficient operation, Landholm Dam plays a crucial role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential inundation and ensuring water resource sustainability. As a key feature in the local water infrastructure, this earth dam stands as a testament to effective private ownership and collaborative regulatory oversight in maintaining the integrity of water resources and climate adaptation strategies in Nebraska's landscape.

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.
