Summary
& Dete is a privately owned dam located in South Dakota along the TR-WHITE RIVER, with a low hazard potential and a height of 40 feet. Constructed in 1962, this earth dam has a storage capacity of 590 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2100 cubic feet per second. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, it is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Bradfield Divers. & Dete plays a crucial role in water resource management in Jackson County, South Dakota. With a primary purpose that is not specified, the dam serves to provide flood control, water supply, or other essential functions to the surrounding area. Despite its age, the dam has not undergone significant modifications in recent years and has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) date.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bradfield Divers. & Dete offers a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and management. As a vital component of the local water supply and flood control system, this dam exemplifies the importance of regulatory oversight and regular inspection to ensure its safety and functionality. With its unique features and historical significance, Bradfield Divers. & Dete provides valuable insights into the intersection of human engineering and natural resource management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
