Summary

Built in 1920, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. Situated on TR-BOX ELDER CREEK, Hubbard #1 has a dam height of 12 feet and a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not-rated condition.

Managed by the DNRC, Hubbard #1 is regulated by the state of Montana and undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement. With a primary purpose of fire protection and stock water supply, this dam plays a crucial role in supporting local agriculture and wildlife in the area. Despite its age, Hubbard #1 continues to provide essential water resources for the community while maintaining a low-risk profile.

Located in a scenic area of Montana, Hubbard #1 stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering and water management practices. With its historical significance and ongoing role in water resource management, Hubbard #1 serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring our dams to ensure long-term sustainability and safety for both people and the environment.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
