It has a maximum discharge capacity of 500 cubic feet per second and serves as a vital source of water for agricultural activities in the region. The dam's location in Congressional District 00, Montana, under the jurisdiction of the Walla Walla District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, highlights its importance in supporting local communities and ecosystems.
With no associated structures and a lack of detailed risk assessment and emergency preparedness information, O'Halloran #1's management and maintenance are essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of its operations. As a key component of the water infrastructure in Park County, Montana, this dam serves as a valuable resource for water users and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the intersection of water management, irrigation, and environmental stewardship in the region.
