Chasek Dam, located in Sheridan, Nebraska, is a privately-owned structure that serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and a small fish pond. Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet with a length of 309 feet, providing a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the TR-Beaver Creek, is regulated and inspected by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.

With a low hazard potential, Chasek Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in October 2017. Despite its small surface area of 9 acres and drainage area of 0.5 square miles, the dam can discharge up to 470 cubic feet per second in case of emergencies. While the dam does not have a spillway or lock structures, it remains a vital resource for the local community and wildlife. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Chasek become increasingly important for sustainable water management in the region.
