Summary
Completed in 2004, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 83 acre-feet. Situated on TR-PLUM CREEK, it serves a primary purpose not specified in the data, with a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment.
With a drainage area of 0.2 square miles and a surface area of 6 acres, Albers Feedlots Lagoon 3 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Cuming County. Despite its low hazard potential, regular inspections ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's location in a congressional district represented by Jeff Fortenberry underscores the importance of proper maintenance and oversight to mitigate potential risks and safeguard the surrounding environment.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Albers Feedlots Lagoon 3 Dam are essential for water storage and flood control. Ensuring that this dam meets regulatory standards and is properly maintained is crucial for sustainable water management in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and support efforts to protect and enhance the resilience of such critical infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
