Carbonate Camp #6, also known as Hay Park #1, is a privately owned earth dam located in Cedaredge, Colorado. Built in 1890 for irrigation purposes, this dam stands at 14 feet high and stretches 425 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 333 acre-feet. Situated on Youngs Creek, this dam is regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safe operation.

The dam's hazard potential is classified as low, with a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in 2014. Despite its age, Carbonate Camp #6 continues to serve its intended purpose effectively. With a spillway width of 20 feet and outlet gates consisting of slide (sluice gate) and uncontrolled mechanisms, this dam remains a vital component in the irrigation infrastructure of Delta County.

Although the risk assessment for Carbonate Camp #6 is considered high, with a DSAC (Dam Safety Action Classification) of 2, the dam is well-maintained and monitored regularly. As a key feature in the water resource management of the area, this historic structure exemplifies the importance of proper regulation and upkeep in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water supply in the face of changing climate conditions.
