Summary
Talley No.2 is a privately owned earth dam located on the TR CHEYENNE river in Meade, South Dakota. Built in 1958, this dam stands at a height of 11 feet and spans a length of 360 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, R. Talley No.2 plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing flood protection in the area. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1200 cubic feet per second, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. While its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam is subject to regular monitoring and maintenance to uphold its integrity and functionality.
As a key component of the St. Paul District's water infrastructure, R. Talley No.2 contributes to the overall resilience of the water resource system in South Dakota. With its low hazard potential and solid construction, this dam stands as a testament to effective water management practices and the importance of maintaining critical infrastructure for climate resilience and sustainable water resource management.

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.
