Summary
Constructed in 1956, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a length of 380 feet, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is not specified, but it serves important regulatory functions as it is state-regulated and subject to inspection, permitting, and enforcement by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Situated on the TR MISSONot RatedI river or stream within the jurisdiction of the St. Paul District, Gale Grazing Assn No.1 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment. Although the dam has not been assessed for emergency action preparedness, risk management, or inundation mapping, it remains a key structure for water resource management in the region. With its close proximity to the city of NONE, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing protection against potential flooding events in the area.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Gale Grazing Assn No.1 is an essential component of the local water infrastructure, ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in Campbell, South Dakota. As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam represents a critical link in the network of structures that contribute to the overall management and conservation of water in the region.

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.
