Sd Noname 100 dam
Sd Noname 100
Sd Noname 100 is a privately owned dam located in Pennington, South Dakota, with a low hazard potential and a height of 20 feet. Built in 1965, this earth dam serves the primary purpose of regulating the flow of TR-SPRINGCREEK, with a storage capacity of 216 acre-feet. Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.
The design of Sd Noname 100 was carried out by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, reflecting a commitment to sustainable water resource management and environmental conservation. With a maximum discharge capacity of 2120 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area. Although its condition is currently not rated, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts are in place to ensure the dam's integrity and safety for the community.
As a key infrastructure asset in the region, Sd Noname 100 highlights the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience. By adhering to state regulations and implementing risk management measures, the dam serves as a vital component in protecting against potential hazards and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources in South Dakota.

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 100
Where does the data for Sd Noname 100 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.
