Completed in 1980, this earth dam stands at a height of 31.9 feet and boasts a storage capacity of 103.6 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition has been assessed as poor, with a last inspection date in March 2017.
Located in a rural area with a drainage area of 0.6 square miles, the Gilbert-Stukenholtz Dam serves as a vital resource for managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the region. However, the dam's poor condition underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness. With a proximity to the Kansas City District, the dam is subject to state regulation by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, highlighting the collaborative efforts needed to safeguard water resources and infrastructure in the face of changing climates.
