Summary
Designed by Wagner Construction, Inc., this lagoon has a storage capacity of 63.4 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5.9 acres. It serves as a critical source of water for the surrounding area, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement conducted by the North Dakota State Water Commission.
Although the dam's primary purpose is water supply, specific details about its design and construction are not provided in the data. The hazard potential is labeled as undetermined, and the condition assessment is listed as not rated, suggesting that further evaluation may be needed to assess the safety and reliability of the structure. Despite these uncertainties, New Town Lagoon 01 plays a vital role in water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable infrastructure for climate resilience.
As a part of the St. Paul District in North Dakota, New Town Lagoon 01 stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to manage and maintain water resources in a changing climate. While specific details about the dam's construction and modification history are not available, its crucial role in providing water supply underscores the need for continued monitoring and assessment to ensure its long-term viability. With state regulation and oversight in place, this lagoon serves as a key resource for the community, contributing to the resilience of the local water infrastructure in the face of climate challenges.

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.
