Summary
Situated on the TR-LODGE CREEK, the dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 65 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is irrigation, supporting agricultural activities in the area. The dam is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), ensuring proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures are in place.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential and currently rated as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment, Tulkarm plays a crucial role in water resource management in Blaine County, Montana. With its earth dam type and efficient hydraulic design, the dam contributes to the sustainable utilization of water resources for agricultural purposes. The surrounding area benefits from the controlled release of water for irrigation, helping to support local farming communities.
Tulkarm's location in a key agricultural region, coupled with its state-regulated status and historical significance, makes it a vital infrastructure for water supply and climate resilience in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of dams like Tulkarm in managing water availability and supporting agricultural production is essential in promoting sustainable water use practices and mitigating the impacts of climate change on water resources.

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.
