Summary

Built in 1945 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 200 feet, with a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-West Fork Sand Creek, within the jurisdiction of the DNRC, and is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state of Montana.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, T&S Stock CO #4 is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a maximum discharge of 1200 cubic feet per second. The spillway, which is uncontrolled, has a width of 120 feet. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it meets state permitting and inspection requirements. The dam has not been modified in recent years, and there are no associated structures or emergency action plans in place.

Overall, T&S Stock CO #4 serves as a crucial water resource for the local area, providing vital services such as fire protection and livestock watering. It stands as a testament to the importance of proper dam management and maintenance in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
