Summary
Completed in 1970, this structure stands at a height of 18 feet and stretches 100 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-BAD RIVER, this dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, ensuring regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement measures to maintain its safety and integrity.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 248 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. With a maximum discharge capacity of 2226 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the area, serving as a vital infrastructure for flood control and irrigation purposes. While lacking specific information on emergency preparedness and risk assessment, this dam continues to provide essential services to the local community and ecosystem.
Located in the city of MIDLAND, South Dakota, Sd Noname 248 falls under the jurisdiction of the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its unassuming name, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing demands for sustainable water use.

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.
