Summary
Number 4, located in Jones, South Dakota, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1959 with a height of 25 feet and a length of 273 feet. This dam, situated on the TR-White River, has a storage capacity of 26 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 693 cubic feet per second. It falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Daum Bros. Number 4 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and management measures are also not reported. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is listed as the federal agency designer for this structure. The dam's primary purpose and associated structures are not specified, and there is no information provided on its inspection frequency, emergency contact protocols, or inundation maps.
Overall, Daum Bros. Number 4 serves as a vital water resource infrastructure in South Dakota, contributing to flood control and water storage on the TR-White River. Its historical significance and current regulatory status make it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and operation of dams in the region. Further data on its condition assessment, emergency preparedness, and risk management may provide additional insights into the safety and resilience of this important structure.

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.
