Summary
Completed in 1975, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and as a small fish pond. With a dam height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 334 acre-feet, Berrys Land #4 plays a crucial role in providing water resources for the local community while also minimizing the risk of potential hazards.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Berrys Land #4 is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safe operation. Despite being rated as having low hazard potential and not currently assessed for its condition, the dam remains a vital structure for water management in the region. With its location in a congressional district represented by Greg Gianforte (R), the dam exemplifies the importance of proper maintenance and oversight in preserving water resources and adapting to changing climate conditions.
While lacking detailed information on its risk assessment, emergency action plan, and condition assessment, Berrys Land #4 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private owners and state agencies in managing water resources effectively. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of dams like Berrys Land #4 is crucial in addressing the challenges of water security and resilience in the face of a changing climate. By highlighting the significance of infrastructure like this earth dam, we can work towards sustainable water management practices that benefit both present and future generations.

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.
