Completed in 1945, this dam stands at a height of 8 feet and has a length of 600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential and current "Not Rated" condition assessment, Libbey's Label serves an important purpose in the region, supporting various activities beyond water storage and management. The dam has not undergone any significant modifications or assessments in recent years, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) are yet to be fully implemented. While the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are not currently available, its unique location and historical significance make it a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
As part of the Seattle District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Libbey's Label is a key feature in the local landscape, contributing to the environmental and hydrological dynamics of the region. While the dam's structure and operations are not funded or overseen by federal agencies, its importance in the local ecosystem and community cannot be understated. With its serene surroundings and rich history, Libbey's Label stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of water resource management in Montana's Lincoln County.
