Lockport, also known as Buchanan Pond or Village At Sodacreek Pond, is a privately owned dam located in Kittredge, Jefferson County, Colorado. Completed in 1984, this earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of water supply, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. Situated on Troublesome Creek, Lockport has a significant hazard potential and is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Colorado Department of Water Resources.
With a structural height of 20 feet and a length of 430 feet, Lockport boasts a spillway width of 15 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 200 cubic feet per second. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2020, the dam's hazard potential and moderate risk assessment highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures. Managed privately, Lockport plays a crucial role in water supply operations in the region and underscores the intersection of water resources and climate considerations for enthusiasts in this field.
