Summit, located in Camas County, Idaho, is a federally owned dam that is regulated by the Idaho Department of Water Resources. Completed in 1941, this Earth dam stands at a height of 13.2 meters and serves a variety of purposes, including providing storage of 99 acre-feet of water from an unnamed stream that sinks nearby. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition, with regular inspections conducted every five years to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

Managed by the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Summit has a spillway width of 45 meters and a maximum discharge capacity of 60 cubic meters per second. The dam's primary purpose is classified as "Other," and it is primarily constructed of Stone core types with rock and soil foundations. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam has not required significant risk management measures or emergency action planning, indicating a generally stable and well-maintained structure that contributes to the local water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

With its strategic location in Shoshone and its crucial role in water storage and flood control for the surrounding area, Summit represents a key piece of infrastructure in Idaho's water resource management system. As climate change continues to impact water availability and extreme weather events become more frequent, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Summit will be essential in ensuring the resilience and sustainability of water resources in the face of a changing climate landscape.
