Summary
Built in 1930, this earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches 200 feet in length. Its primary source of water comes from the TR-South Fork Rock Creek, making it a crucial resource for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Remulac is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. With a storage capacity of 223 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 223 acre-feet, this dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. While its emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are not specified, Remulac remains a significant asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
Despite its relatively modest size and capacity, Remulac plays a vital role in providing essential water resources for fire protection, livestock, and recreational purposes in Valley County, Montana. As part of the Omaha District, this dam continues to fulfill its intended functions with minimal risk and maintenance requirements, making it an integral piece of the local water infrastructure. For those interested in water resource management and climate resilience, Remulac stands as a noteworthy example of a well-maintained and regulated dam in the state.

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.
