Summary
Lund is a privately owned dam located in Ziebach, South Dakota, along the TR CHEYENNE river. Built in 1960 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans 440 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 151 acre-feet, G. Lund serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, with a maximum discharge rate of 3360 cubic feet per second.
Despite its age, G. Lund has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safe operation. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are currently not available, but its location and design make it an important structure for water management and climate resilience in the region.
With its close proximity to St. Paul District and under the representation of Congressman Dusty Johnson, G. Lund plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in South Dakota. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor the condition and operation of dams like G. Lund to ensure their continued safety and effectiveness in mitigating water-related risks and challenges in the face of climate change.

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.
