Summary
Built in 1952, this dam stands at 18 feet tall and spans a length of 519 feet, with a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Bad River, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state.
Despite its low hazard potential, Booth Number 1 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and there is no information available on its risk assessment or management measures. The dam's purpose and associated structures are not specified, and it is not maintained or funded by any federal agencies. With a maximum discharge capacity of 2016 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a critical role in water resource management in the area.
Booth Number 1 is a significant water management structure in South Dakota, contributing to the regulation of the TR-Bad River. As a privately owned earth dam with a long history, its condition and safety measures should be closely monitored to ensure its continued effectiveness in providing water storage and flood control benefits to the region. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Booth Number 1 an intriguing subject for further study and monitoring in the realm of water infrastructure.

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.
