Kamm Dam, located in Red Willow, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. Built in 1960, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 13.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 149.7 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment, Kamm Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Kamm Dam is designed to regulate water flow from TR-Silver Creek, serving as a vital resource for fire protection and agricultural needs. The dam's location in a rural setting underscores its importance in supporting local wildlife and promoting sustainable water use practices. Despite its low hazard potential, regular inspections and maintenance ensure the continued safety and functionality of the structure.
In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) readiness and compliance with guidelines are essential for effective risk management. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Kamm Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in mitigating climate challenges and supporting the surrounding ecosystem.
