Located in Owyhee, Idaho, the Tindall dam is a private irrigation structure that has been regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources since its completion in 1951. With a height of 13.4 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, Tindall serves the primary purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area. The dam is constructed primarily of earth and stone materials, with a spillway width of 6 feet for uncontrolled water release.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Tindall has a moderate risk level due to its age and limited structural information available. The last inspection in September 2017 revealed that the dam meets regulatory standards, with inspections occurring every five years to ensure its continued safety and functionality. In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, highlighting the need for further risk management measures to be implemented to protect downstream communities and infrastructure.
