Summary
This Earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and stretches 650 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. Completed in 1953, this dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, Sd Noname 223 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With a normal storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1900 cubic feet per second, this dam helps regulate the flow of water and provides essential irrigation and flood control benefits to the surrounding area. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water conservation and climate resilience in South Dakota.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the significance of structures like Sd Noname 223 in maintaining a sustainable water supply and mitigating the impacts of climate change. By understanding the regulatory framework and operational aspects of this dam, we can appreciate the efforts put forth by government agencies and private owners to ensure the safety and functionality of these critical water management systems.

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.
