Summary
This dam stands at a height of 21.3 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23.3 feet, with a storage capacity of 105.4 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
The primary purpose of Rkr Farms Lagoon 1 Dam is classified as "Other," with a focus on storing water for agricultural or industrial purposes. The dam's design includes stone core types and soil foundations, contributing to its structural integrity. With a normal storage capacity of 91.5 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The last inspection in May 2018 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition, ensuring its continued functionality for the surrounding community.
Situated in Congressional District 01 of Nebraska, Rkr Farms Lagoon 1 Dam is managed by private owners and falls under the jurisdiction of the state. With no associated structures and a relatively small drainage area of 0.1 square miles, this dam serves as a vital component of the local water infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining dams like Rkr Farms Lagoon 1 Dam are essential for sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
