Skaley Dam in North Dakota, also known as M K, was completed in 1965 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond.
This private dam, designed by SCS, stands at a height of 19 feet and has a length of 170 feet, with a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. Situated on the Missouri River, the dam is regulated by the North Dakota State Water Commission and is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Skaley Dam is considered a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and is constructed primarily of earth and stone materials on a soil foundation. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam is maintained and monitored to meet state regulatory standards for operation and enforcement.
Located in Sheridan County, North Dakota, Skaley Dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for fire protection, livestock, and recreational activities. The dam is owned privately and is a key element in the local water management system, contributing to the sustainability of the surrounding environment and supporting the diverse needs of the community.
