Summary
This private-owned earth dam serves a crucial purpose in the area, with a primary function of "Other" and a low hazard potential, making it an essential component of the local water resource infrastructure.
Managed and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, this structure plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the TR-Elkhorn River. With a satisfactory condition assessment as of May 2018, the dam boasts a stone core and soil foundation, ensuring its durability and longevity. The surrounding area benefits from a surface area of 4.8 acres and a normal storage capacity of 82.3 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the community.
Despite its low hazard potential, the Humphrey Truck Wash Lagoon Dam remains a critical piece of infrastructure in Platte County, Nebraska, safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring the water supply's stability. With regular inspections and enforcement measures in place, this earth dam exemplifies the careful balance between human development and environmental protection, demonstrating the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate challenges.

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.
