Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam serves as a crucial structure for water resource management in the area, with a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 110 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential rating.
The dam is part of the tributary system to Sand Creek and is situated within the jurisdiction of the state of South Dakota. Although not federally owned or funded, it has been designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Despite being classified as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, Sd Noname 232 plays a significant role in flood control and water supply management in the region. With its low hazard potential and state-regulated status, the dam continues to be an important infrastructure for safeguarding the local environment and community against potential water-related risks.
Overall, Sd Noname 232 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners, state regulators, and design agencies in ensuring the safety and reliability of water resource structures. Its strategic location and purposeful design contribute to the resilience and sustainability of the local water management system, demonstrating the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance of critical infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns and environmental challenges.

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.
