Summary
Built in 1967 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and stretches 426 feet in length. It serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management, with a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.4 acres.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Noname32 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure compliance with safety standards. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam's condition remains unrated. While it does not have controlled spillways or outlet gates, the dam is monitored to meet emergency action plan guidelines and risk management measures.
Situated in a rural area, Iowa Noname32 provides critical water resource management for the surrounding community of MOORHEAD. With its strategic location and purposeful design, this dam stands as a testament to sustainable water infrastructure development in the region, supported by federal agencies and designed to meet the needs of fire protection, livestock, and small fish pond operations.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
