Summary
Built in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a height of 30 feet and a length of 350 feet, Traweek #2 has a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 400 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the DNRC, Traweek #2 is classified as a low hazard potential structure, with its condition currently not rated. Despite lacking recent inspection and assessment data, the dam is equipped with a spillway width of 40 feet to ensure efficient water release during high flow events. The dam's location in Fallon County, Montana, highlights its importance in water resource management for the local community, emphasizing the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure continued functionality and safety.
As an essential infrastructure for water resource management in the region, Traweek #2 represents a significant investment in ensuring water availability for fire protection, livestock, and recreational purposes. With its historical significance and reliance on state regulation and inspection, this dam serves as a critical asset in the sustainable management of water resources in Montana, showcasing the collaborative efforts between private owners, federal agencies, and state regulators to safeguard water availability and quality in the area.

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.
