Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1958, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet. With a maximum discharge of 300 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a significant role in water resource management in the region.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Sd Noname 136 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being labeled as "Significant" in terms of hazard potential, the dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further assessment and monitoring to address any potential risks.
With its strategic location and role in water storage and management, Sd Noname 136 serves as a crucial infrastructure for the local community and ecosystem. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and ensuring the safety and efficiency of dams like Sd Noname 136 are essential to sustainable water management practices and resilience against the impacts of climate change in the region.

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.
