Summary
Completed in 1998, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 777 feet. With a storage capacity of 100.7 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 59.2 acre-feet, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other," with a low hazard potential.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Hansen Hog West Lagoon Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The last inspection of the dam took place in May 2017, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment of the dam is currently "Not Rated," indicating that further evaluation may be needed to assess its structural integrity and safety.
As a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hansen Hog West Lagoon Dam provides valuable insights into the management and regulation of dams in Nebraska. With its unique design features and storage capacity, this dam plays a crucial role in water conservation and flood control along the TR-Beaver Creek, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the region.

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.
