Summary
This dam is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and is used for purposes other than flood control or water supply. With a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 148 acre-feet, Lindberg serves as a vital structure in the management of Antelope Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, Lindberg has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam is equipped with a spillway width of 200 feet and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by the state regulatory agency. While the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment details are currently unavailable, Lindberg remains a crucial component of the water resource infrastructure in the region.
With its strategic location in Congressional District 00, Montana, Lindberg plays a key role in water management and agricultural activities in the area. While the dam's current risk management measures and condition assessment may be lacking, its presence underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring water resources in a changing climate. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lindberg presents a case study in the ongoing effort to balance water infrastructure needs with environmental considerations.

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.
