This dam stands at a height of 12.7 meters and has a storage capacity of 54.1 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 18.2 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Beaver Creek, the dam serves as a vital resource for water management in the area, with a drainage area of 2.4 square kilometers and a maximum discharge capacity of 800 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with the last inspection conducted in August 2018. The dam's current state raises concerns regarding its structural integrity and the potential risks it poses to the surrounding community. With the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NE DNR) overseeing regulation, inspection, and enforcement, it is imperative that necessary measures are taken to address the dam's condition and ensure the safety of the area's residents and water resources. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change must monitor the situation closely and advocate for timely maintenance and improvements to mitigate any potential risks associated with Mccue South Dam.
