Summary
Standing at 30 feet tall and 500 feet long, the dam serves as a water resource for the surrounding area with a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," suggesting its importance in water management and conservation efforts in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the M&M Farms West Lagoon 1 Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam poses minimal risk to the community but still undergoes regular inspections every five years to maintain its functionality. Despite its relatively small surface area of 4 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the area, especially during times of increased precipitation or drought.
As a key infrastructure in the region, the M&M Farms West Lagoon 1 Dam contributes to water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Nebraska. With its design and construction focused on earth and stone materials, the dam provides crucial storage and regulation of water flow in TR-Pebble Creek. Its presence highlights the importance of sustainable water management practices in ensuring a reliable water supply for agricultural and environmental needs in the area.

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.
