Summary
Completed in 1975, the dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection and as a water source for stock or small fish ponds. With a height of 15 feet and a length of 400 feet, Neikro has a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 40 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), ensuring that it meets state safety standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, Neikro has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been modified over the years, and there is no emergency action plan (EAP) prepared or updated for the structure. While the risk assessment and management measures are not specified, the dam's location on TR-Timber Coulee stream highlights its importance in water resource management for the area. Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate in Montana may find Neikro's history and purpose as a multifunctional earth dam intriguing, especially given its role in providing essential services to the local community.

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.
