Summary
Constructed in 1957, this dam has a height of 30 feet and a length of 445 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 43 acre-feet. Situated on the TR Little White Offstream river or stream, the dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and it undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Krogman #5 serves as a crucial water resource infrastructure in the region, with a normal storage capacity of 29 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 480 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures are unspecified. With a latitude of 43.425 and longitude of -100.963333, this dam plays a vital role in water management and climate resilience efforts in the area, under the oversight of the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
While specific details on the dam's outlet gates, inspection frequency, and emergency preparedness are lacking, Krogman #5 remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its historical significance and importance in the local water infrastructure network. As a privately owned structure in South Dakota, its maintenance and regulatory compliance are essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding community and the watershed it serves. The involvement of federal and state agencies in its oversight underscores the collaborative efforts needed to manage water resources and mitigate climate-related risks effectively.

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.
