Summary
Completed in 1950, this dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. With a height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 367 acre-feet, Ucaliptus plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
Managed by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), Ucaliptus has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. While specific details about its inspection frequency and emergency preparedness are not provided in the data, the dam's importance in supporting local water needs cannot be understated. It stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to balance water resource utilization with environmental conservation in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Ucaliptus represents a key infrastructure component in the management of water resources in Montana. Its strategic location along Willow Creek, combined with its multiple uses and state regulation, underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices. As discussions around climate change and water scarcity continue to gain momentum, dams like Ucaliptus serve as critical pieces of the puzzle in ensuring water security for both human and environmental needs in the region.

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.
