The Conda Site Mtis (Simplot) is a significant private water resource structure located in Caribou, Idaho, constructed in 1979 for tailings management. This earth dam, standing at a height of 45 feet with a hydraulic height of 41.8 feet, plays a crucial role in water management for the region. The dam has a storage capacity of 1700 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 65 acres, serving as a vital component for groundwater management in the area.
Managed by the Idaho Department of Water Resources, the Conda Site Mtis (Simplot) is regularly inspected and deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of August 2017. However, it is classified as having a significant hazard potential and a high risk level, indicating the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance. Despite the lack of a spillway, the dam's design and operation meet regulatory standards, ensuring the safety of the surrounding areas in the event of any emergency or natural disaster.
With its location on a groundwater source and its crucial role in tailings management, the Conda Site Mtis (Simplot) stands as a key infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and understand. Its history, design, and contribution to water management in Idaho make it a fascinating subject for those interested in the intersection of water resources and environmental sustainability.
