Despite being under state jurisdiction and regulation by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Fred Kerner No.1 is classified as having a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspection or evaluation, and there is limited information available on its emergency action plan, inundation maps, and risk management measures.
