Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches 190 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 80.4 acre-feet. Completed in 1960, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flood events, as it is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Board of Educ Lands & Funds Dam 3681 undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in March 2017. The dam's condition remains unrated, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk mitigation. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it is essential for stakeholders to prioritize the development of such plans to enhance emergency preparedness and response efforts in the event of a crisis.
With its strategic location and vital role in flood risk reduction, Board of Educ Lands & Funds Dam 3681 stands as a significant asset in safeguarding the community and environment against potential water-related hazards. As climate change continues to influence weather patterns, the importance of maintaining and strengthening such infrastructure becomes increasingly apparent, highlighting the need for proactive management and investment in water resource resilience.

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.
