The Divide Creek Detention Dam, located in Moffat County, Colorado, is a federal-owned structure managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Completed in 1959, this gravity dam on Divide Creek serves primarily as a fish and wildlife pond, with a storage capacity of 304 acre-feet and a surface area of 304 acres. The dam stands at a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 33 feet, providing flood control benefits to the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently unsatisfactory, indicating a need for maintenance and potential improvements. The last inspection in August 2018 revealed this assessment, prompting a moderate risk rating of 3. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the ongoing risk management measures for the Divide Creek Detention Dam to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing environmental conditions and potential hazards.
