Summary
Managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, this earth dam structure stands at 8 feet tall and spans a length of 410 feet. Completed in 2000, the pond has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet and serves as a crucial habitat for local wildlife.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of 2017, Basin 61-307w is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The pond has an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 20 feet and a maximum discharge of 120 cubic feet per second. Despite its relatively modest size and moderate risk assessment rating, the pond plays a vital role in supporting the ecological balance of the Chippewa River watershed.
As a key component of the local ecosystem, Basin 61-307w underscores the importance of maintaining water resources for wildlife conservation and climate resilience. With its strategic location in Terrace, Minnesota, this private fish and wildlife pond serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between government agencies and private landowners to protect and preserve natural habitats in the face of environmental challenges.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
