Summary
This Earth-type dam, with a height of 25 feet and a structural height of 27 feet, was completed in 2002 and has a storage capacity of 192 acre-feet. Situated on the Snake River-TR, the dam covers a surface area of 23 acres and serves a drainage area of 3.1 square miles.
With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of October 2016, Peace Twp Road 451 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - Ecological Water Resources. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 and has not been modified in recent years. Although it lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps, the structure meets regulatory guidelines and is considered to be in compliance with safety standards.
Overall, Peace Twp Road 451 is a well-maintained dam that serves an important role in supporting fish and wildlife habitats in the region. With its relatively low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the structure continues to provide valuable environmental benefits while being subject to regular inspections and regulatory oversight to ensure public safety and ecological sustainability.

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.
