Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1960, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and a small fish pond. With a dam height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, Adidias is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, Adidias does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place or updated contact information for emergency situations. The dam has a history of modification or risk assessment, and there are no inundation maps or risk management measures documented. Adidias falls under the jurisdiction of the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers but does not have any associated federal agency ownership, funding, or oversight.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Adidias can explore its unique location, design, and historical significance as a vital infrastructure for local water management. The dam's primary purpose and multi-use functions make it a valuable asset for both agricultural and ecological purposes in the region. However, the lack of certain safety measures and comprehensive risk assessments highlight the importance of continual monitoring and management to ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of Adidias for the community and surrounding environment.

Dam Data Reference
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.
