Despite its age, the dam is considered to have a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Sd Noname 18 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency but has received design assistance from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. With no associated structures and no recent inspections reported, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain undocumented.
Although details on the dam's condition assessment, emergency preparedness, and risk management are lacking, Sd Noname 18 serves as a vital structure for water resource management in the area. Its location along the TR-Rapid Creek highlights its significance in flood control and water storage, contributing to the overall resilience of the region's water supply and climate adaptation efforts.
