Summary
The pond is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and is actively inspected and enforced for compliance with state regulations. Completed in 1969, the earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 64 acre-feet.
Situated along the Little Elk River-TR, Loberg Pond serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other.' The dam structure, with a length of 372 feet, has a low hazard potential and is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in August 2017. The pond's drainage area is 0.9 square miles, and it has a maximum discharge capacity of 40 cubic feet per second. With its serene location in Randall, Minnesota, Loberg Pond offers an essential water source for the local ecosystem and contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Loberg Pond as a vital component of the watershed in Morrison County. As a privately owned facility with state oversight, the pond serves as an example of responsible water management practices. The low hazard potential and satisfactory condition of the dam highlight the importance of regular inspections and enforcement to ensure the safety and integrity of water infrastructure. By understanding and appreciating the role of Loberg Pond in the local environment, individuals can contribute to the preservation and sustainable use of water resources in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
