Summary
The dam was completed in 1942 and serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. With a height of 15 feet and a length of 475 feet, Hagerty has a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet and a normal storage volume of 26 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Cutbank Creek and is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.
Despite its age, Hagerty has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone any recent inspections or maintenance activities, and its emergency action plan and risk assessments are currently unavailable. However, the dam meets state regulatory requirements and is subject to regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting. While the dam's risk management measures are not specified, its location in the Omaha District under Congressional District 00 of Montana is overseen by Representative Greg Gianforte.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Hagerty's historical significance and multiple uses for fire protection and ecological management intriguing. With its location in Cut Bank and association with TR-Cutbank Creek, Hagerty provides valuable insights into water management practices and regulatory oversight in Montana. While the dam's condition assessment and emergency preparedness are currently not rated, its low hazard potential and state jurisdiction ensure that it continues to serve its intended purposes effectively and safely.

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.
