Summary

This dam, located on TR-LOST CREEK, has a height of 13 feet, a length of 560 feet, and a storage capacity of 100.9 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is designated as "Other", with a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in June 2017.

Owned and maintained by a private entity, the Glenn Kluck Company Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, providing storage for irrigation, flood control, and other purposes. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam contributes to the overall water management infrastructure in the region. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected and meets state regulatory requirements to ensure its continued safety and functionality for the community.

Located within Congressional District 01 of Nebraska, the Glenn Kluck Company Lagoon Dam stands as a testament to the importance of private ownership in water resource management. With its strategic placement and design, this dam plays a vital role in maintaining water quality and quantity in the surrounding area, highlighting the significance of earth dams in climate resilience and water security efforts.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
