Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1968, stands at a height of 20 feet with a total length of 1110 feet, providing a storage capacity of 52.6 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles. Situated along the TR-Mission Creek, this structure is regulated and inspected by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, ensuring its operational efficiency and safety.
Owned by the local government and situated in OKETO KS, Mission Creek 7-2 plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction within the region. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment not yet rated, this structure stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Despite its age, Mission Creek 7-2 continues to serve its primary purpose and remains a key component in the overall water management strategy in Nebraska.
In the event of emergencies, the structure's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment measures are currently not available, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and preparedness. With a history of inspections dating back to April 2017, Mission Creek 7-2's significance in maintaining water security and climate adaptation in the region cannot be understated. As climate change impacts intensify, structures like Mission Creek 7-2 will be crucial in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the growing threats of floods and water scarcity.

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.
