Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam dam
Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam
Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam, located in Pender, Nebraska, is a privately owned earth dam built in 2014 with a primary purpose of "Other." It spans 1,400 feet in length and stands at a height of 40 feet, offering a maximum storage capacity of 70.2 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-LOGAN CREEK and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
The Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam has a significant hazard potential and is classified as being in satisfactory condition based on a 2018 assessment. Despite its remote location in Dixon County, Nebraska, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and contributing to the local ecosystem. With a drainage area of 0.05 square miles and a surface area of 4.43 acres, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control and water storage in the region.
Overall, Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam serves as a key component of water management in the area, providing storage capacity and flood protection along TR-LOGAN CREEK. With its earth construction and stone core, the dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of climate change and ensuring the resilience of communities in Nebraska.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam
Where does the data for Wakefield Farms Lagoon 1 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
