Sd Noname 104 dam
Sd Noname 104
Sd Noname 104 is a privately owned dam located in Haakon, South Dakota, along the TR-BAD RIVER. Built in 1953, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 499 feet, providing a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Despite being regulated by the state and having state jurisdiction, the dam is classified as low hazard potential with a condition assessment of 'Not Rated'.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 104 is equipped with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. The dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 720 cubic feet per second and is designed to serve various purposes, although the primary purpose is not specified in the data. With its strategic location and importance in water resource management, Sd Noname 104 plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and climate resilience efforts in South Dakota.
While the dam's emergency preparedness measures and risk assessment details are not provided, its overall low hazard potential and state-regulated status indicate a commitment to safety and effective management. As a significant structure in the St. Paul District, Sd Noname 104 contributes to the sustainability of water resources and environmental protection in the region, making it a vital asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and support.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Sd Noname 104
Where does the data for Sd Noname 104 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
