Summary
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
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.
