Summary
Built in 1952, this dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans 520 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. Despite being of low hazard potential, this dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement all in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 94 plays a crucial role in water resource management within the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1260 cubic feet per second, this dam serves to control water flow and provide essential irrigation and flood control benefits to the surrounding area. While not currently rated for condition assessment, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain undisclosed, highlighting potential areas for future improvement and monitoring.
As an integral component of the St. Paul District's water infrastructure, Sd Noname 94 contributes to the overall resilience and sustainability of the local ecosystem. With Congressman Dusty Johnson representing the area, there is a strong political support system in place to address any potential issues or concerns related to the dam's operation and maintenance. Overall, Sd Noname 94 stands as a vital resource for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of effective dam management and regulation for the well-being of communities and the environment.

Dam Data Reference
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.
