Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, livestock watering, and small fish pond management. With a dam height of 15 feet and a storage capacity of 139 acre-feet, Gjp Suta has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Gjp Suta is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The dam is situated in a diffused surface water source, serving as a vital water resource in the region. Despite being privately owned, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water for various agricultural and environmental purposes in the area.
Located in Congressional District 00 of Montana, Gjp Suta is a notable structure in the region with a history dating back to the mid-20th century. While the dam has not undergone recent modifications or assessments, its importance in water resource management and climate resilience cannot be overstated. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Gjp Suta continues to support the surrounding community with essential water resources for various needs.

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.
