Summary
Built in 1968, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and stretches 376 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet and a drainage area of 25.6 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in grade stabilization and recreation activities in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Kutryp Lake Dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating potential risks that need to be managed effectively. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 48 feet, providing a means for managing excess water flow. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it is essential for stakeholders to regularly monitor and maintain the structure to ensure its safety and longevity.
With its picturesque location along the TR-TUQUE CREEK and its role in supporting fish and wildlife habitats, Kutryp Lake Dam serves as a valuable asset to the local ecosystem. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the dam's management, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness measures can contribute to the preservation of this essential infrastructure for future generations to enjoy.

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.
