Summary
Built in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 320 feet, providing a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this low-hazard dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, ensuring regular inspections and enforcement of safety measures.
Despite its age, Sd Noname 144 has not been rated for its current condition, suggesting a need for further assessment and potential maintenance. With a maximum discharge of 360 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area and mitigating flood risks. While it lacks certain infrastructure such as spillways and outlet gates, its primary purpose remains essential in supporting agricultural activities and maintaining water quality in the region.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the significance of dams like Sd Noname 144 in South Dakota cannot be understated. With a focus on sustainability and safety, ongoing monitoring and maintenance of this dam are crucial to ensure its continued effectiveness in managing water flow and protecting surrounding communities from potential hazards.

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.
