Summary
This dam has a maximum storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 22 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of water resource management in the area. It is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lundren 2 has a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated." While it has not been inspected or assessed recently, the dam meets state regulatory guidelines and is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 500 cubic feet per second. Despite its unassuming risk profile, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unspecified, suggesting a potential area for improvement in emergency preparedness and response.
Overall, Lundren 2 serves as a vital water management infrastructure in South Dakota, ensuring the safe storage and controlled release of water for various purposes. As a key component of the local water resource system, this dam's continued maintenance and adherence to regulatory standards are crucial to safeguarding the surrounding community and environment from potential risks associated with dam failure or 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.
