Dam 30-9-6w dam
Dam 30-9-6w
Dam 30-9-6w, located in Stockham, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. Completed in 1996, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a structural height of 26 feet. The dam spans 546 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 171 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Situated on the TR-W FK Big Blue River, Dam 30-9-6w plays a crucial role in maintaining water supply and supporting local ecosystems. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of April 2018, this dam is regularly inspected and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. In case of emergencies, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans and updated contact information to ensure the safety of nearby residents and wildlife.
Despite its modest size, Dam 30-9-6w serves as a vital component of the water infrastructure in Hamilton County, Nebraska. With its efficient design and reliable functionality, this dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of Dam 30-9-6w in safeguarding water supplies and ecosystems in the region.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Dam 30-9-6w
Where does the data for Dam 30-9-6w come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
