Anderson Reservoir, located in Garfield County, Colorado, is a Federal-owned Earth dam that serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Completed in 1967, this reservoir has a height of 12 feet and a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 100 acre-feet. The dam is primarily made of stone and rests on a foundation of rock and soil, with an uncontrolled spillway that is 8 feet wide.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Anderson Reservoir has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 2017, with an inspection frequency of every 10 years. Currently, the condition of the dam is not rated, and there are no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for this structure.
With its scenic location and important role in providing habitat for fish and wildlife, Anderson Reservoir is a significant water resource in Colorado. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality in the region, the management and maintenance of this reservoir will be essential to ensure its continued functionality and safety for both the environment and nearby communities.
