Stat. § 39-1818","body":"A water impoundment structure which will result in temporary storage and flowage of water upon, across, or adjacent to a road upstream from such structure may be approved only if such road would not be inundated because of the storage in such structure of waters from a ten-year, twenty-four-hour or lesser frequency storm. A water impoundment structure which will also serve as a roadbed may be approved and constructed only if the structure would contain the runoff from a twenty-five-year, twenty-four-hour frequency storm without water overtopping such structure or being discharged through its emergency spillway, except that if the road which is subject to such inundation is classified as a local road or remote residential road with current average daily traffic of fifty vehicles or less, the containment of a ten-year, twenty-four-hour frequency storm shall be sufficient. In making the storm frequency determinations required by this section, any recognized method may be used.","path":["NE Code","Chapter 39"],"source_url":"https://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=39-1818","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:21Z","sha256":"0ebff0248f174eeeab67dd111ff7273596bce99c774f99e8655171ad929d18c8","source_id":"us-ne","stale":false,"prev":"us-ne/neb.-rev.-stat.-39-1817","next":"us-ne/neb.-rev.-stat.-39-1819"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
