Summary
Completed in 2013, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans a length of 1080 feet, with a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet. Situated on TR-SPRING CREEK, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a low hazard potential with a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in March 2020.
With its stone core and soil foundation, the Redman Livestock Lagoon Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Custer County, Nebraska. The dam's surface area of 3.2 acres and drainage area of 0.01 square miles provide essential flood control and water storage benefits for the surrounding area. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is subject to regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in managing water resources.
As an integral part of the local water infrastructure, the Redman Livestock Lagoon Dam contributes to the conservation and management of water resources in Nebraska. With its strategic location, design, and purpose, this dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate resilience can appreciate the role that structures like the Redman Livestock Lagoon Dam play in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against water-related challenges.

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.
