Summary
Built in 2004, this privately-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches over 1718 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as 'Other', and it is regulated and inspected by the NE DNR, ensuring compliance with state guidelines.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of March 2020, Borgelt Feedlots South Lagoon 1 Dam plays a vital role in water management within the region. Its normal storage capacity of 47 acre-feet provides essential water resources for various uses, while its location within the Omaha District ensures oversight and maintenance. The dam's design, with a Stone core and Soil foundation, reflects a commitment to structural integrity and longevity, highlighting its importance in climate resilience and water conservation efforts.
As an Earth dam with a hydraulic height of 20 feet, Borgelt Feedlots South Lagoon 1 Dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management in Nebraska. Its presence along TR-PLUM CREEK not only contributes to flood control and water storage but also underscores the need for sustainable infrastructure development in the face of changing climate patterns. With regular inspections and state permitting in place, this dam exemplifies a proactive approach to safeguarding water resources for current 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.
