Summary
This dam, completed in 2013, stands at a height of 28.2 feet and has a hydraulic height of 28.2 feet, with a structural height of 37.7 feet. Its primary purpose is classified as "Other," with an earth dam type, stone core, and soil foundation.
The dam has a storage capacity of 40.1 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 10.2 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 52 cubic feet per second. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Pigeon-Jones Creek 9 is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted on April 8, 2020. The dam's location on TR-PIGEON CREEK in Dakota County, Nebraska, adds to its significance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Overall, Pigeon-Jones Creek 9 plays a vital role in water resource management and flood control in the area. Its construction and design by USDA NRCS ensure its functionality and safety, while its regulated status and regular inspections by the NE DNR contribute to its effective operation. As a key infrastructure in the region, this dam serves as a significant asset for both the local community and environmental conservation efforts 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.
