Summary
Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a dam height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 39 acre-feet, Guthridge is regulated by the DNRC and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Montana.
Situated on TR-HOME CREEK, Guthridge has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition. Despite lacking recent inspection data and emergency preparedness assessments, this reservoir continues to provide essential services to the local community. Managed by private owners, Guthridge highlights the importance of water resource infrastructure in sustaining both environmental and agricultural needs in the region.
With its close proximity to the Omaha District and Congressional District 00 in Montana, Guthridge stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of government agencies and private entities in ensuring the safety and functionality of water resources. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and regulation of reservoirs like Guthridge play a crucial role in mitigating risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices for future generations.

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.
