Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Situated on Crooked Creek, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, particularly in times of need for firefighting and livestock watering.
Despite its low hazard potential, Landa #2 is regulated and inspected by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there are no emergency action plans in place as of the last update in 2022. While the dam has not undergone any significant modifications over the years, it remains a key infrastructure for water management in the region.
With its location in a rural area and its primary purpose for agricultural and fire protection needs, Landa #2 represents the vital role that small dams play in supporting local communities and ecosystems. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Landa #2 will be essential to ensure sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
