Jet Set dam
Jet Set
Jet Set is a private water resource located in Savage, Montana, along the TR-Box Elder Creek. Constructed in 1951, this Earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 62 acre-feet, primarily serving the purposes of fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. The dam is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment currently marked as "Not Rated," Jet Set poses minimal risk to its surrounding environment. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and inundation maps are not currently available, indicating room for improvement in emergency preparedness. Despite these gaps, Jet Set remains an essential resource for fire protection and water storage in the region, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to uphold its functionality and safety standards.
As a key infrastructure for the local community, Jet Set plays a crucial role in ensuring water availability and environmental protection in the area. With its proximity to the Omaha District and Congressional District 00 in Montana, this dam serves as a vital asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the intersection of human intervention and natural ecosystems in water management practices. As stakeholders work towards enhancing emergency response protocols and risk management measures for Jet Set, the dam stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource development with environmental stewardship.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Jet Set
Where does the data for Jet Set come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
