Summary
With a height of 22 feet and a length of 276 feet, this dam serves to provide crucial water resource management in the area. It has a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 55 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, the condition assessment of Randall Rc&D Ca-191-Bh is currently listed as "Not Rated". This suggests a need for further evaluation and maintenance to ensure the dam's continued effectiveness and safety. While the dam has not been inspected in recent years, it is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam plays a significant role in managing water resources in the region, particularly in its contribution to the drainage area and maximum discharge capacity of 154 cubic feet per second.
As a key component of water resource infrastructure in South Dakota, Randall Rc&D Ca-191-Bh is an essential structure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and understand. With its historical significance dating back to 1983, this earth dam continues to serve its purpose in water storage and management. Continued attention to its condition and maintenance will be crucial to ensuring its long-term functionality and safety for the surrounding community and environment.

Dam Data Reference
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.
