Summary
Built in 1962, this dam serves as a fish and wildlife pond, providing habitat for various species in the area. With a height of 15.7 feet and a storage capacity of 102.44 acre-feet, Hoglund Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting the local ecosystem.
Managed by the North Dakota State Water Commission, Hoglund Dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. Although it has not been inspected since 1997, the dam is considered to be in fair condition and has not been rated for its current state. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of outlet gates, the dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of sustaining fish and wildlife populations in the region.
As a key feature in the area's water infrastructure, Hoglund Dam contributes to the conservation and management of water resources in North Dakota. With its strategic location on the Sheyenne River-TR, this dam serves as a vital resource for both wildlife and the surrounding community. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Hoglund Dam becomes increasingly critical for ensuring sustainable water management practices.

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.
