Summary
Owned privately, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans 700 feet in length, completed in 2010. It boasts a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 32 acre-feet, making it a significant asset for water management in the area.
With its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Knobbe Cattle Lagoon Dam is well-maintained and regularly inspected by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. This ensures its structural integrity and safety for surrounding communities. Despite its primary purpose being categorized as 'Other', the dam plays a crucial role in water storage and regulation, contributing to the overall water resource management in the region.
Knobbe Cattle Lagoon Dam stands as a testament to effective private ownership and state regulation, embodying the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns. Its presence not only aids in flood control and water storage but also highlights the collaborative efforts between private owners and state agencies to uphold water resource management standards in Nebraska.

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.
