Hartman #2 Pond dam
Hartman #2 Pond
Hartman #2 Pond, also known as Breeze Lake, is a private fish and wildlife pond located in Kremmling, Colorado. 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.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Hartman #2 Pond
Where does the data for Hartman #2 Pond come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
