Summary
Built in 1952, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 93 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 40 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Maciejewski #2 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite being a privately owned structure, it falls under state jurisdiction and is part of the state's infrastructure network. The dam has not undergone any major modifications in recent years and lacks a detailed emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps for potential risk assessment.
The St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) does not have any involvement in the management or oversight of Maciejewski #2. While the dam is in good standing with no immediate safety concerns, its lack of a detailed EAP and assessment of potential risks may pose challenges in emergency preparedness and response. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the condition and regulatory compliance of this structure to ensure the safety and sustainability of the surrounding ecosystem.

Dam Data Reference
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.
