Summary
Built in 1960 for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 850 feet, with a storage capacity of 192 acre-feet. The dam, owned by a private entity, is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state authorities.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, Robert Bold #2 serves as a vital resource for water management in the area. While it has not been modified or updated in recent years, the dam continues to provide essential services for the local community. As a key component of the water infrastructure in the region, this dam plays a crucial role in ensuring water availability for firefighting, livestock, and recreational fishing activities.
Situated in a picturesque location in Montana, Robert Bold #2 is a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management. With its primary purpose of fire protection and stock water supply, this earth dam represents a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Robert Bold #2 become even more crucial for maintaining the delicate balance between human needs and ecological sustainability.

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.
