Summary
Built in 1935 by USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a height of 16 feet and a length of 1054 feet, Nd No Name 061 has a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 36 acre-feet.
Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission (NDSWC), Nd No Name 061 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. The dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential and a high risk level, making it crucial for proper risk assessment and management. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, Nd No Name 061 remains an essential structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
With no spillway and outlet gates, Nd No Name 061 poses challenges in emergency preparedness and response. However, the dam's strategic location and historical significance make it an integral part of the local infrastructure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and study the impact of dams like Nd No Name 061, it highlights the importance of sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
