This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 196 acre-feet. Situated on the Scott Creek, the dam serves the primary purpose of water resource management in the area, with a normal storage capacity of 17 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 1530 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Scott Creek Watershed Dt Dam #11 has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted in April 1981. The dam is regulated by the state of South Dakota, with inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes in place. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated for the structure, indicating a potential area of improvement in terms of risk management and emergency response protocols for this vital water resource infrastructure in the region.
