Summary

Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 1500 cubic feet per second. Situated on the TR-BAD RIVER, this structure serves a crucial role in water resource management in the region, particularly in the city of Philip.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and not yet rated for its condition, Sd Noname 75 remains a key component of the local water infrastructure. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam plays a vital role in flood control and water supply for the area. With its state-regulated status and routine inspections, the dam ensures the safety and stability of its surrounding environment, contributing to overall climate resilience in South Dakota.

As an essential piece of water infrastructure in the region, Sd Noname 75 stands as a testament to the importance of effective water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions. With its low hazard potential and state-regulated status, this dam serves as a reliable source of water supply and flood protection for the community of Philip and beyond. Through continued monitoring and maintenance, Sd Noname 75 plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability and safety of water resources in South Dakota.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
