Summary
Built in 1976 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a length of 528 feet, providing a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet. With a maximum discharge of 771 cubic feet per second, this low hazard potential structure is regulated by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
Despite its age, Valbnot Ratedg #1 has not been rated for its condition, and there is no record of recent inspections or maintenance activities. However, with a normal storage capacity of 83 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Its location in a rural setting and low hazard potential make it a key asset for flood control and water supply for the surrounding community.
While Valbnot Ratedg #1 may not be a prominent structure in the region, its significance lies in its role in water management and conservation efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining dams like this one are essential to ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water supply.

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.
