Summary

This 11-foot-tall structure on TR-Clear Creek has a storage capacity of 81 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. The dam, with a length of 3300 feet, is primarily made of stone core and sits on a soil foundation.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam has been inspected as recently as May 2016 and has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition. The dam is regularly monitored by state regulators, with inspection and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan status is unknown.

Located in the Congressional District 01 of Nebraska, Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam contributes to water resource management in the area, providing essential storage for agricultural purposes. Its design and construction meet state permitting and inspection requirements, ensuring its structural integrity and effectiveness in managing water flow in TR-Clear Creek.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
