G & F Enterprises Dam, located in York, Nebraska along the TR-Big Blue River, was completed in 1960 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. The earth dam stands at a height of 14.4 feet, with a storage capacity of 82.9 acre-feet and a drainage area of 2.81 square miles. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

Managed by a private entity, G & F Enterprises Dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state regulatory oversight, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam's location, NWS2T12R4W, is within Congressional District 03, represented by Adrian Smith. The last inspection in June 2017 revealed the dam's poor condition, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to mitigate risks and ensure the safety of downstream communities and the surrounding environment.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the G & F Enterprises Dam can engage with its historical significance, construction details, and current challenges. With a focus on enhancing emergency preparedness, risk management, and structural improvements, stakeholders can work towards safeguarding this vital infrastructure for water storage, flood control, and ecosystem preservation along the Big Blue River in Nebraska.
