Summary
Built in 1967, the dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. While the dam is considered to have low hazard potential, it is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety and integrity.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Sd Noname 214 has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating potential risks that are being actively monitored and managed. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and a maximum discharge capacity of 1250 cubic feet per second. Despite not having a condition assessment rating, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to meet safety standards and mitigate any potential risks associated with its operation.
Located in a rural area with no associated structures, Sd Noname 214 serves primarily for water resource management purposes. With its strategic location and function, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and storage along the TR CHEYENNE river, contributing to overall water resource management efforts in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Sd Noname 214 offers a fascinating example of how private infrastructure plays a vital role in maintaining sustainable water ecosystems and mitigating risks associated with potential hazards.

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.
