Basin, located in Grand County, Colorado, is a privately owned dam primarily used for irrigation purposes. Built in 1913, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Basin serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, drawing water from the Muddy Creek-TR river.

Managed by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, Basin is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being last inspected in 1991, the dam is considered to be in good condition and not rated for any structural issues. With a spillway width of 12 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 252 cubic feet per second, Basin is well-equipped to handle potential overflow events.

While Basin has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), it remains a crucial component of the local water infrastructure. With its strategic location in Kremmling and contribution to irrigation, fire protection, stock water supply, and small fish pond management, Basin plays a key role in supporting the water needs of the region.
