Summary
Completed in 2010, this Earth-type dam stands at 16 feet in height and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 71.1 acre-feet. The dam, situated on McGuire's Slough, plays a crucial role in managing water resources for livestock operations in the region.
Managed by a private owner, the Stromberger Feedyards Livestock Lagoon Dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of June 2020, the dam is deemed as meeting safety guidelines. In case of emergencies, it is crucial that an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) be prepared and updated regularly to mitigate risks and protect the surrounding community.
As an essential piece of infrastructure in the area, the Stromberger Feedyards Livestock Lagoon Dam provides a reliable water source for agricultural activities while adhering to state regulations and safety standards. Its role in water management and conservation highlights the importance of sustainable practices in supporting both livestock operations and the local ecosystem.

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.
