Embankment Criteria and Performance Report. Salt Creek and Tributaries, Nebraska, Site 18, Branched Oak Dam and Lake.

Abstract

This report provides a summary record of significant design, construction, and operational data on Branched Oak Dam for use by engineers to familiarize themselves with the project, reevaluate the embankment when unsatisfactory performance occurs, and provide guidance for designing comparable future projects. The dam was designed and constructed by the Corps of Engineers as part of a system of 10 dams and reservoirs on the tributaries of Salt Creek above the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, for flood control, fish and wildlife conservation, and recreation. The permanent pool is maintained and operated for fish and wildlife conservation and recreation by the State of Nebraska Game and Parks Commission for public use.
