Summary
Built in 1955, this Earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, primarily serving the purposes of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. Despite its age, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and is currently in a "Not Rated" condition assessment status.
Managed by the DNRC, Bar 69 #5 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its continued safety and functionality. While specific details about its design and construction are not available, the dam's location in Rosebud County highlights its importance in the region's water resource management. With a normal storage capacity of 43 acre-feet and a total length of 750 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem and agricultural activities.
As a key feature in the water infrastructure of the area, Bar 69 #5 contributes to the overall resilience of the community by providing essential services for fire protection and livestock management. With its modest size and low hazard potential, this dam serves as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring water resources to mitigate potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices in the face of a changing climate.

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.
