Soward #2, located in South Fork, Colorado, is a privately owned Earth dam constructed in 1910 for the primary purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Standing at a height of 12 feet with a length of 200 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. Despite being regulated by the state and having undergone regular inspections in the past, its hazard potential is considered low, with a high risk assessment rating of 2.
The dam, situated on Middle Creek-OS, falls under the jurisdiction of the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. It has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain safety features such as a spillway. The last inspection conducted on Soward #2 was in August 1990, and its condition is currently listed as "Not Rated." With a risk assessment indicating high risk, it is essential for authorities to consider implementing risk management measures and updating emergency action plans to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for the surrounding community and wildlife.
