Identifier of a dam in the National Inventory of Dams of the US Army Corps of Engineers, assigned by the state dam safety coordinator and never reused. It is the two-letter postal code of the state or territory where the dam lies followed by five characters, usually digits; Virginia uses six digits and South Carolina a letter D and five digits. Saddle dams and dikes share the NID ID of their dam and add a separate other structure ID such as S001.
