Summary
The dam, constructed in 1992, stands at a height of 14.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 390 acre-feet. The dam serves as a crucial water resource in the area, with a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 20 acres.
Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission, the dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting processes. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with measures in place for risk management. The presence of the Missouri River nearby adds to the significance of the dam in enhancing the local ecosystem and providing a habitat for fish and wildlife.
With its earth dam structure and stone core type, Turnbow Development Corp's dam contributes to the conservation efforts in the region, supporting biodiversity and water management. As climate change impacts water resources, this development becomes even more critical for ensuring a sustainable environment in the face of evolving weather patterns and increasing water demands. The collaboration between the private sector and state agencies showcases a commitment to responsible water resource management for the benefit of both the ecosystem and the community.

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.
