Summary
Completed in 1990, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and stretches 910 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-West Bow Creek, contributing to a drainage area of 0.2 square miles and providing crucial water storage for the region.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of 2018, the H&H Cattle Company Lagoon 5 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. Owned privately, this dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," indicating its versatility in water management applications. As a significant feature in the region's water infrastructure, the H&H Cattle Company Lagoon 5 Dam is essential for water storage and flood control efforts in the area.
Managed by the Omaha District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, this earth dam with stone core types demonstrates a commitment to sustainable water resource management. With a maximum discharge capacity of 225 cubic feet per second, the dam is equipped to handle potential flood events while providing a reliable water supply for agricultural and environmental needs. The H&H Cattle Company Lagoon 5 Dam stands as a testament to responsible water resource management and climate resilience in Nebraska.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
