Summary
Built in 1959, this Earth-type dam stands at 20 feet tall and spans 510 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and is subject to regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement measures.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 60 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam remains a crucial component in water resource management for the region, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 2000 cubic feet per second. With its primary purpose unspecified, the dam serves as a vital structure for flood control and water storage in the area, demonstrating the intersection of human infrastructure and natural resource conservation efforts.
While lacking certain modern safety features like an Emergency Action Plan or inundation maps, Sd Noname 60 plays a pivotal role in the local water management system. Situated within the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction, the dam represents a testament to historical engineering practices and the ongoing importance of maintaining and monitoring aging infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources 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.
