Sd Noname 188 dam
Sd Noname 188
Sd Noname 188, also known as Hume Creek Dam, is a privately owned structure located in Jackson, South Dakota. Completed in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and spans 400 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. Situated on the Hume Creek, this dam serves the primary purpose of water resource management and flood control in the area.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Sd Noname 188 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and compliance with regulatory standards. With a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated," this dam plays a crucial role in maintaining the water supply and ecosystem balance in the region. Despite not being under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, efforts are made to continually monitor and manage the risk associated with this structure.
In the event of an emergency, the readiness of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and the coordination with local authorities are essential aspects of the dam's risk management strategy. While specific details regarding the EAP and risk assessment measures are not provided in the available data, the presence of state oversight and the commitment to safety highlight the importance of Sd Noname 188 in safeguarding the surrounding community and environment from potential water-related hazards.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Sd Noname 188
Where does the data for Sd Noname 188 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
