Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2 dam
Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2
Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2, located in Fall River, South Dakota, is a privately owned earth dam originally completed in 1968. With a dam height of 23 feet and a storage capacity of 184 acre-feet, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The pond is situated along a tributary of the White River and is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Despite being labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2 has a low hazard potential and is designed to withstand potential risks. The structure has a maximum discharge capacity of 1650 cubic feet per second, providing vital flood control benefits to the surrounding area. While specific details such as spillway type and outlet gates are not provided, the pond serves as a valuable asset for water supply, irrigation, and wildlife habitat conservation in the region.
Managed by a private owner, Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2 operates within state jurisdiction and complies with regulatory standards set by the DENR. With its strategic location and storage capacity, this pond contributes to the sustainable management of water resources and climate resilience in Fall River, South Dakota. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of structures like Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2 sheds light on the intricate balance between human development and environmental stewardship.
Dam data reference
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 Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2
Where does the data for Angostnot Rateda Grazing Pond 2 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.
