Summary
Built in 1980, this earth dam stands at a height of 19.7 feet and spans 250 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and repairs.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NE DNR), the Ltl Farms Dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving as a vital infrastructure for protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related disasters. While the dam's current condition raises concerns, its location and design play a crucial role in managing water resources and climate resilience in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring the maintenance and upkeep of structures like the Ltl Farms Dam is essential to safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the impacts of flooding and water scarcity. By staying informed about the condition and functionality of such dams, we can contribute to sustainable water management practices and climate adaptation efforts in Nebraska and beyond.

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.
