Standing at a height of 18 feet with a hydraulic height of 14 feet, this dam on Mill Creek has a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 280 cubic feet per second. The dam, managed by the USDA Forest Service, is regulated and inspected by the Colorado Department of Water Resources to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards.
Despite being classified as having "Significant" hazard potential, Mill Creek No 2 is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and its risk assessment is moderate. With the last inspection date dating back to September 2010, there is a need for updated emergency preparedness measures and maintenance to mitigate potential risks associated with this dam. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial for stakeholders to prioritize the monitoring and maintenance of dams like Mill Creek No 2 to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
