Summary
Built in 1938 for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes, the dam stands at 15 feet tall with a length of 100 feet. With a storage capacity of 234 acre-feet, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Mr Flaming Jet is regulated and permitted by the state, with regular inspections and enforcement measures in place. The dam's primary purpose is to provide essential water resources for fire protection and livestock, serving as a vital infrastructure in the region. Despite its age, the dam continues to function effectively, meeting the needs of the local community and contributing to water resource sustainability in the area.
Situated in Congressional District 00, Montana, Mr Flaming Jet plays a crucial role in maintaining water security and supporting the ecosystem of the Dry Fork Coyote Coulee. While its condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," the dam's low hazard potential and state-regulated status ensure that it remains a reliable asset for water management and climate resilience efforts 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.
