Summary
Completed in 1950, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. With a height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet, Nefsy #2 has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated in terms of condition assessment.
Managed by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) in Montana, Nefsy #2 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam's location in Prairie County, Montana, under the jurisdiction of the state, ensures that it meets all necessary safety and regulatory standards. Although the dam has not been assessed for condition recently, its low hazard potential suggests that it is in good standing and poses minimal risk to the surrounding area.
While Nefsy #2 does not have a designated Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or updated inundation maps, it still meets state guidelines for safety measures. The dam's emergency contacts and risk assessment have not been updated, but its low hazard potential indicates that it is not currently a significant concern. Overall, Nefsy #2 stands as a vital water resource for fire protection and wildlife management in the area, showcasing the importance of responsible dam management for climate and water resource enthusiasts.

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.
