Summary
Built in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and permitted by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, with inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 63 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years and does not have an emergency action plan in place. With a maximum discharge capacity of 500 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, providing flood control and water storage for agricultural and environmental purposes.
Although Sd Noname 63 may not be widely known, its presence and function are essential for the local community and ecosystem. As climate change continues to impact water resources, dams like Sd Noname 63 play a vital role in managing water flow, mitigating flood risks, and ensuring sustainable water use in the face of changing weather patterns. With proper maintenance and monitoring, this dam will continue to serve as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in South Dakota.

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.
