Summary
Completed in 1980, this earth dam stands at a height of 14.4 feet and has a hydraulic height of 11.4 feet, offering a normal storage capacity of 66.5 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential, Huxoll Dam has not been rated for condition assessment as of the last inspection in August 2018.
The dam's primary purpose extends beyond flood risk reduction, serving as a key resource for water management in the region. Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Huxoll Dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement, ensuring its structural integrity and operational efficiency. With a drainage area of 3.84 square miles, this vital infrastructure provides essential water storage and management capabilities for the local community, contributing to sustainable water resource practices in the area.
Despite its modest size, Huxoll Dam stands as a significant contribution to water resource management in Furnas County, Nebraska. Serving as a protective barrier against flooding and supporting water storage needs, this earth dam reflects the importance of private investment in critical infrastructure for climate resilience and water security. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Huxoll Dam play a crucial role in mitigating risks and ensuring the sustainable management of precious water supplies in the region.

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.
