Summary
Built in 1957, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a length of 360 feet, providing a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 82 serves the purpose of water resource management for the surrounding area. It is situated on the Bad River Offstream and falls under the jurisdiction of the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being last inspected in 1973, the dam has not been rated for its current condition. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1050 cubic feet per second, Sd Noname 82 plays a crucial role in flood control and water storage for the region.
Although lacking recent assessments and emergency action plans, Sd Noname 82 remains a vital infrastructure for water resource management in South Dakota. With its low hazard potential and historical significance, this dam continues to contribute to the conservation and regulation of water in the area, under the supervision of state and federal agencies. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Sd Noname 82 underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing demands on water resources.

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.
