Summary
This rockfill dam stands at a height of 30 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 36 acre-feet. It is situated on the Red Lake-TR river and falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - Ecological and Water Resources division.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently "Not Rated," Thibert serves as a crucial structure for water resource management in the region. While the dam's primary purpose is not specified, it has been designed to withstand hydraulic pressures and maintain its structural integrity. Despite its importance, the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks detailed risk assessment and emergency preparedness measures.
Thibert's location in the heart of Red Lake County underscores its significance in water control and climate resilience efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding and maintaining infrastructure like Thibert is essential for sustainable water management and flood prevention 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.
