Horton Dam #2, located in Roberts, South Dakota, is a privately owned Earth dam completed in 1976. With a height of 18 feet and a length of 400 feet, this dam serves as a crucial resource for the surrounding area, providing a maximum storage capacity of 116 acre-feet. The dam controls the flow of TR-AGENCY CREEK and has a low hazard potential, making it a safe and reliable structure for water management in the region.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Horton Dam #2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure its safety and efficiency. While the dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," its emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and other safety measures are not yet fully documented. With a maximum discharge capacity of 800 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a vital role in flood control and water resource management in the area.
Although Horton Dam #2 has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) or undergone a detailed risk assessment, its low hazard potential and state-regulated status suggest that it is well-maintained and poses little risk to the surrounding community. As a key infrastructure in the region, this dam serves as a testament to the importance of proper management and maintenance of water resources in the face of changing climates and environmental challenges.
