Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 11 feet and has a structural height of 15 feet, with a length of 1315 feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, with a normal storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 340 acre-feet.
Located in Adams County, North Dakota, Duck Creek Dam 2 spans over Duck Creek and is regulated by the North Dakota State Water Commission. The dam has a spillway width of 27 feet and is classified as having a low hazard potential with a moderate risk assessment of 3. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state regulatory agencies to ensure public safety and compliance with regulations.
Although last inspected in 1974, Duck Creek Dam 2 continues to serve its purpose for recreational activities. With its historical significance and ongoing management measures, this dam stands as a testament to the collaboration of various federal agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA NRCS, and the Works Progress Administration in ensuring water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

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.
