Bak #1 is a state-regulated earth dam located in Mellette, South Dakota, with a significant hazard potential. Completed in 1970, this dam stands at a height of 59 feet and has a storage capacity of 236 acre-feet, making it a crucial water resource structure in the area. The dam is situated on the TR Little White Offstream river or stream, managed by the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Despite its importance, Bak #1 has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection took place in September 2017. With a frequency of inspection set at 3 years, it is crucial to ensure the safety and maintenance of this structure to prevent any potential risks. Additionally, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared for Bak #1, highlighting the need for proactive measures to be taken in case of emergencies or natural disasters that could impact the dam and surrounding areas. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and ensuring the integrity of Bak #1 is essential for the sustainable management of water resources in the region.
