Sd Noname 54 dam
Sd Noname 54
Sd Noname 54 is a privately owned dam in Haakon, South Dakota, with a primary purpose that is not specified. Built in 1966, this earth dam stands at 14 feet tall and stretches 380 feet in length, holding a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet and a normal storage of 26 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-BAD RIVER, this structure is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 54 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite lacking specific information on emergency preparedness and risk assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 750 cubic feet per second, Sd Noname 54 stands as a key infrastructure contributing to the overall water resource sustainability in the area.
Although lacking detailed information on certain aspects of its management and emergency preparedness, Sd Noname 54 stands as a significant structure in the water management system of South Dakota. With its age and capacity considered, ongoing monitoring and potential updates may be necessary to ensure the dam's continued safety and efficiency in serving its intended purposes. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep an eye on developments related to Sd Noname 54 to promote sustainable water management practices in the region.

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 54
Where does the data for Sd Noname 54 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.
