Summary
This dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a storage capacity of 55.3 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 42.6 acre-feet. Situated on the Ash Creek, this dam covers a surface area of 3.88 acres and serves as a crucial water resource for the surrounding area.
Managed and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the Jones Enterprise Livestock Lagoon Dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in April 2016. With a drainage area of just 0.01 square miles, this dam plays a vital role in controlling water flow and ensuring water availability for agricultural activities in the region. Even though the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates, it continues to fulfill its intended purpose effectively.
Owned by a private entity, this dam showcases the importance of proper water resource management in the agricultural sector. With a focus on maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of the dam, it serves as a testament to the crucial role that such infrastructure plays in sustaining water resources and mitigating climate-related risks in the region. The Jones Enterprise Livestock Lagoon Dam stands as a key asset in ensuring water security and sustainability for the local community and ecosystem.

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.
