The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 17 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 10 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Straka Bros. is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Located in the St. Paul District, the dam on the TR-MISSONot RatedI river has a maximum discharge capacity of 630 cubic feet per second. Although the dam's condition is currently rated as 'Not Rated,' it plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
With Dusty Johnson (R) as the congressional representative for the area, Straka Bros. contributes to the overall water infrastructure of South Dakota. As a key component of the state's water management system, this dam underscores the importance of sustainable water resource development and climate adaptation.
