Summary
Constructed in 1990, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans a length of 2379 feet, with a storage capacity of 266 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-DRY CREEK, the dam serves as a vital water resource for the area, with a normal storage capacity of 222 acre-feet and a surface area of 29 acres.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of August 2020, the Gottsch Feeding Corporation Lagoon 2 Dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. While no spillway or outlet gates are reported, the dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its multifaceted utility. As part of the state's regulatory framework, the dam undergoes regular inspections and is subject to enforcement measures to ensure compliance with safety standards and environmental protection.
As a key component of the local water infrastructure, the Gottsch Feeding Corporation Lagoon 2 Dam contributes to the sustainable utilization of water resources in Nebraska. Its strategic location and design highlight the importance of private initiatives in water management, while its low hazard potential underscores the commitment to safety and environmental stewardship. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam represents a case study in effective dam construction and management within a state-regulated framework.

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.
