Summary
This low hazard potential structure on TR-Sweeney Creek has a dam height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. With a length of 300 feet, Hunt #2 serves as a vital resource for the local community and wildlife in the area.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, Hunt #2 is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being in a not rated condition, the dam continues to provide essential water resources for firefighting, livestock, and aquatic life. With a historical significance dating back to the 1960s, Hunt #2 stands as a testament to sustainable water management practices in the region.
As part of the broader water infrastructure network in Rosebud County, Montana, Hunt #2 contributes to the overall water resource management efforts in the area. With its unique combination of purposes and design, the dam remains an essential component of the local ecosystem and an important asset for maintaining water security in the region.

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.
