Summary
Constructed in 1963 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a length of 930 feet. With a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, it serves primarily for flood control purposes in the area. Despite its age, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and its condition is currently not rated.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Bobby Peters 2 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion and does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared. Although the dam has not been officially assessed for its condition, its low hazard potential suggests that it poses minimal risk to the surrounding community in case of failure. With a maximum discharge capacity of 2400 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the region.
Overall, Bobby Peters 2 is a vital structure in the local water resource management system, contributing to flood control efforts along Eight Mile Creek. As a privately owned dam, it falls under state jurisdiction and is subject to regular inspections to ensure its safe operation. With its low hazard potential and historical significance, Bobby Peters 2 continues to serve its intended purpose effectively while maintaining a low risk profile for potential emergencies.

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.
