Summary
Built in 1955 by USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. Standing at a height of 15 feet and a length of 200 feet, Randi has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a low hazard potential.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Randi is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. Despite being not rated in terms of condition assessment, the dam is considered to have low risk potential and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. With a spillway width of 12 feet and no associated locks, Randi remains an important water resource structure in the region.
Although lacking detailed information on its condition and risk assessment measures, Randi continues to play a vital role in water management and conservation in Phillips County, Montana. As a key structure for fire protection and livestock needs, this dam highlights the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns. With its historical significance and functional purpose, Randi stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of government agencies and private owners in ensuring the safety and reliability of water infrastructure in the region.

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.
