Summary
Completed in 2015, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 131.9 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in 2016, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and storage in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, this dam is state-regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safe operation and compliance with regulatory standards. The dam's primary purpose is categorized as "Other," indicating its importance in providing water resource management beyond typical irrigation or flood control functions. With a drainage area of 0.01 square miles and a surface area of 6.8 acres, the Lincoln County Feedyard Lagoon 4 Dam plays a significant role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.
As part of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam contributes to the overall water infrastructure in Nebraska, helping to mitigate potential risks and manage water resources effectively. Owned privately but regulated and inspected by state authorities, the Lincoln County Feedyard Lagoon 4 Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts to ensure water resource sustainability and climate resilience 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.
