Lohmeier Dam, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by USDA NRCS for grade stabilization purposes. Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 21.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 85.6 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 35.5 acre-feet. Despite its relatively small surface area of 6.7 acres and drainage area of 0.73 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in managing the flow of Middle Creek.
With a significant hazard potential and a poor condition assessment as of April 2019, Lohmeier Dam is in need of attention to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety. The Nebraska Department of Natural Resources regulates and inspects the dam, emphasizing the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring. As a key feature in the local watershed, the dam requires regular inspections and potential risk management measures to mitigate any potential issues that could arise. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lohmeier Dam serves as a reminder of the vital role that dams play in managing water resources and protecting communities from flooding.
