Summary
Built in 1959, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 300 feet, with a storage capacity of 165 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, which ensures that the structure is inspected, permitted, and enforced regularly to maintain its safety and integrity.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Sd Noname 284 is considered to be in stable condition, although it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and other risk management measures. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have any associated structures or outlet gates. The St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers is not involved in the ownership, funding, design, construction, or operation of the dam, highlighting its status as a privately managed water resource.
Overall, Sd Noname 284 serves as an important infrastructure for water resource management in South Dakota, providing storage and regulation capabilities for the TR-BAD RIVER. While it currently poses a low risk, there is room for improvement in terms of emergency preparedness and risk management to ensure the continued safety and functionality of the dam for the surrounding community and environment.

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.
