Summary
The dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 68.1 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 33 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-South Loup River and serves a primary purpose classified as "Other". The dam's hazard potential is low, and its condition is assessed as satisfactory, as of the last inspection in March 2020.
With a surface area of 3.2 acres and a drainage area of 0.12 square miles, Bobcat Feeders Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. It is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes. The dam's design includes a stone core and soil foundation, highlighting its structural integrity and reliability in flood control and water storage operations.
The dam's location within Congressional District 03, Nebraska, underscores its significance in local climate and water resource management efforts. As a vital infrastructure contributing to the region's water supply and flood protection system, Bobcat Feeders Lagoon Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private ownership and state regulatory agencies in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in Nebraska.

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.
