Summary
Paul District. Constructed in 1970, this dam stands at 20 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. It is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and is subject to regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement.
Situated on the TR-FIRESTEEL river or stream, Bill Lindskov serves a primary purpose that is not specified in the data provided. Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, the dam has not been evaluated for its Emergency Action Plan (EAP) readiness or risk management measures. With a maximum discharge capacity of 840 cubic feet per second, the dam is designed to mitigate downstream flooding and support water resource management in the region.
While Bill Lindskov may not be a high-risk structure, its importance in water resource management and climate adaptation cannot be understated. As a key component of the local infrastructure, it is vital for stakeholders and enthusiasts to monitor its condition, preparedness for emergencies, and overall effectiveness in serving its purpose within the broader context of water resource management and climate resilience in South 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.
