Kalcevic is a pivotal dam located in Westminster, Colorado, along the Clear Creek-TR river. Built in 1955, it stands at a height of 32 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam is classified as an earth dam type with a spillway width of 271 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 3985 cubic feet per second.

Managed by local government authorities, Kalcevic is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. With a high hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, the dam undergoes inspections every three years to ensure its structural integrity and safety measures. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam's emergency action plan preparation and adherence to guidelines remain unclear.

Enthusiasts of water resources and climate science will find Kalcevic to be a significant infrastructure contributing to flood risk management in Adams County, Colorado. As a critical component of the region's water resource management system, Kalcevic's design by P. Kiely and ICON, along with its controlled spillway and uncontrolled outlet gates, demonstrate the commitment to maintaining the dam's functionality and safety standards.
