Stamm Dam, located in Buffalo County, Nebraska, is a private-owned earth dam that was completed in 1960 with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Wood River. Standing at a height of 13.7 meters and stretching 215 meters in length, this structure holds a normal storage capacity of 21.4 million cubic meters and a maximum storage of 77.5 million cubic meters. Despite its low hazard potential, Stamm Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition, indicating a need for maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood mitigation.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Stamm Dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with safety standards. While the dam has not undergone recent modifications or assessments such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or risk assessment, its last inspection in March 2020 highlighted the need for improved maintenance and potential risk management measures. With the Congressional District 03 represented by Adrian Smith, stakeholders and enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area may be interested in monitoring the future developments and upkeep of Stamm Dam to enhance its resilience in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing flood risks.
