Board Of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213 dam
Board Of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213
Board of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213, located in Hayes, Nebraska, stands as a crucial structure for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. Constructed in 1948, this earth dam reaches a height of 14.5 feet and spans 205 feet in length. With a normal storage capacity of 37.7 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.81 square miles, this dam serves as a vital resource in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the dam is classified as low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment as of the last inspection in June 2019. Despite its age, the dam remains in operation and is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement. With a solid foundation of soil and a core made of stone, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the area.
Situated along the TR-Blackwood Creek in the Omaha District, Board of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213 serves as a testament to the importance of water infrastructure in supporting various community needs. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to advocate for sustainable practices, this dam serves as a reminder of the essential role that such structures play in safeguarding local ecosystems and populations.

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 Board Of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213
Where does the data for Board Of Education Lands & Funds Dam 8213 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.
