Summary
With a height of 15 feet and a length of 160 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet and serves as a vital structure for regulating the flow of Rempfer Lake-TR. Despite being uncontrolled, the dam has a spillway width of 55 feet and is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level.
Managed by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the dam is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures are in place to address any potential issues. Tevedhal Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in Jerauld County, South Dakota, contributing to flood control, irrigation, and water supply for the local community.
As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Tevedhal Dam provides valuable benefits to the region while also posing manageable risks. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering behind this structure and its role in supporting sustainable water management practices in the area. With its strategic location and design features, Tevedhal Dam stands as a testament to the importance of responsible dam construction and maintenance in ensuring water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
