Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam dam
Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam
Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam, located in Saunders County, Nebraska, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 2005 with a primary purpose of 'Other'. 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.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam
Where does the data for Mead Cattle Company Lagoon 1 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
