Summary

Owned and regulated by the state, this Earth-type dam was completed in 1965 and stands at a height of 31 feet, with a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. The pond serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and providing a habitat for small fish and wildlife.

With a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 3 acres, Hartman #2 Pond has a maximum discharge capacity of 520 cubic feet per second. The spillway, with a width of 27 feet, is uncontrolled, and the outlet is equipped with a slide (sluice gate). Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the pond has a moderate risk level assigned, signifying the need for ongoing risk management measures.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hartman #2 Pond offers a glimpse into the intricate infrastructure and management practices that go into maintaining a vital resource for both wildlife and local communities. With its rich history dating back to the 1960s and its role in supporting biodiversity and water conservation efforts, this pond serves as a fascinating case study in sustainable water management in the scenic landscapes of Grand County, Colorado.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
