Summary
This gravity dam, with a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 15 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along an unnamed drainage area. With a storage capacity of 51.66 acre-feet and a surface area of 6.48 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Although the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, it is inspected every five years to ensure its safety and reliability. The last inspection took place in September 2018. Miss Doll Dial Dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and there is limited information available regarding risk assessment and management measures. Despite these challenges, this dam remains an essential infrastructure for flood control and water resource management in the area.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Miss Doll Dial Dam to be a fascinating example of federal involvement in dam construction and management. Its location in a remote part of Montana, its unique design features, and its role in flood risk reduction make it a valuable asset for the community. As concerns over water scarcity and extreme weather events continue to grow, understanding the infrastructure and management of dams like Miss Doll Dial Dam is essential for sustainable water resource management in the face of a changing climate.

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.
