Hauserman Pasture Pond Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: February 22, 2026
Hauserman Pasture Pond Dam, located in Furnas, Nebraska, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond.
Summary
Built in 1995, this earth dam with a structural height of 24.1 feet and a length of 375 feet provides a maximum storage capacity of 111 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 12.6 acres. The dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its integrity.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition as of the last inspection in 2014. The inspection frequency is set at 10 years, indicating a need for more frequent monitoring and maintenance. The dam's primary function as a water resource for agricultural and recreational purposes makes it essential to address any issues promptly to prevent any potential risks to the surrounding area.
With its location along the TR-Republican River, Hauserman Pasture Pond Dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region. Climate enthusiasts and water resource experts can appreciate the significance of maintaining this structure to safeguard the local ecosystem and ensure sustainable water use for current and future generations.

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.
