Summary
Owned and operated by the Bureau of Land Management, this dam has a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a structural height of 25 feet, with a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. The dam's purpose is to provide essential water resources for various uses in the region, making it a vital asset for both the local community and wildlife.
While Red Lake Tank Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in "Not Rated" condition, its last inspection date was in 2010, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and inundation maps are all areas that require attention and updating. With its location in a remote area and its importance for water resource management, it is essential that proper measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks and ensure the dam's long-term viability.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, Red Lake Tank Dam serves as a critical piece of the puzzle in adapting to changing environmental conditions. With increased focus on water conservation and sustainable management practices, this dam plays a crucial role in meeting the water needs of the surrounding area while also supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. As such, ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and improvements are essential to ensure the dam's continued effectiveness in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
