Summary

Built in 1966, this earth dam stands at 14 feet tall and stretches 380 feet in length, holding a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet and a normal storage of 26 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-BAD RIVER, this structure is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 54 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite lacking specific information on emergency preparedness and risk assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 750 cubic feet per second, Sd Noname 54 stands as a key infrastructure contributing to the overall water resource sustainability in the area.

Although lacking detailed information on certain aspects of its management and emergency preparedness, Sd Noname 54 stands as a significant structure in the water management system of South Dakota. With its age and capacity considered, ongoing monitoring and potential updates may be necessary to ensure the dam's continued safety and efficiency in serving its intended purposes. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep an eye on developments related to Sd Noname 54 to promote sustainable water management practices 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. 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

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, 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.
