Weingart Land & Livestock #1 dam
Weingart Land & Livestock #1
Weingart Land & Livestock #1, located in Petroleum, Montana, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1959 with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, or small fish pond. This dam, standing at 25 feet high and 200 feet long, is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Situated on TR-DRY BLOOD CREEK in Congressional District 00, Montana, this dam serves as a water resource for various purposes within the agricultural and environmental landscape of the region.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Weingart Land & Livestock #1 plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the area. The dam has a storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 13 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for fire protection and livestock use. Despite not having an official Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the community, ensuring the availability of water for various needs.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and poses challenges to water availability, the role of dams like Weingart Land & Livestock #1 becomes increasingly important. With its regulated status and adherence to state guidelines, this dam stands as a testament to responsible water management practices in the face of evolving climate trends. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and supporting such key infrastructure projects is essential for ensuring sustainable water use and resilience in the face of environmental changes.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Weingart Land & Livestock #1
Where does the data for Weingart Land & Livestock #1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
