Summary
Managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this structure was completed in 1989 and serves as a vital resource for conservation efforts in the area. With a storage capacity of 398 acre-feet and a surface area of 38 acres, Tewaukon Pool 3n plays a crucial role in providing habitat for various species of fish and wildlife.
Situated along the Wild Rice River, Tewaukon Pool 3n is regulated by the North Dakota State Water Commission and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, the pond is equipped with a controlled spillway and vertical lift outlet gates to manage water levels effectively. The primary purpose of Tewaukon Pool 3n is to support fish and wildlife populations, making it a valuable asset for conservation efforts in the region.
Despite its remote location, Tewaukon Pool 3n remains an essential component of the local ecosystem, providing vital resources for both wildlife and the surrounding community. With its focus on conservation and environmental stewardship, this Federal-owned structure serves as a prime example of sustainable water resource management in North Dakota.

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.
