Built in 1934 by WPA, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a height of 23 feet and a length of 325 feet, it has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 10 acres. The dam is regulated by the NDSWC and has state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, Nd No Name 156 is considered to have a high risk level (2) due to unspecified factors. The condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no information available on the emergency action plan preparedness or risk management measures. The dam does not have a spillway and is not associated with any locks or gates. While the dam has not been inspected recently, it is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and assess its condition to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in serving its intended purposes.
