Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), ensuring that state permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures are in place to maintain its safety and integrity.
With a significant hazard potential, Sd Noname 224 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, with a maximum discharge capacity of 2200 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are yet to be determined. Situated in a picturesque setting, the dam serves as a key infrastructure for water supply and flood control, highlighting the importance of its regulatory oversight and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Managed by a private owner, Sd Noname 224 stands as a vital structure in the St. Paul District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, contributing to the overall water management efforts in the area. With its historical significance and functional importance, this dam underscores the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and regulatory compliance, making it a subject of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.

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.
