Summary
Built in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 12 feet and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet, this low hazard potential structure plays a vital role in the local water resource management.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Pink Skeeter #2 is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement measures to ensure its safe operation. Despite being labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, this dam is considered to have a low risk potential. While details about emergency action plans and risk management measures are not specified, the structure remains an important component of the local water infrastructure.
Situated in a remote area with no associated structures, Pink Skeeter #2 serves as a crucial asset for water supply, irrigation, and ecological conservation in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the intricate network of dams and reservoirs in Montana, Pink Skeeter #2 stands out for its unique design, historical significance, and functional versatility in supporting various water-related activities.

Dam Data Reference
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.
