Managed by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, De Trobriand Gma #8 is regulated and inspected by the North Dakota State Water Commission. The dam is primarily made of earth and stone, with a soil foundation. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, it is considered to have a high risk level (2) due to its location and the surrounding environmental factors. However, the condition assessment of the dam has not been rated yet, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
Although De Trobriand Gma #8 does not have a spillway, it serves as a crucial water resource in the area, with a surface area of 25 acres and a drainage area of 0.05 square miles. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. Overall, this structure plays a significant role in the conservation and management of water resources in North Dakota, making it a valuable asset for the local ecosystem.
