10, located in Rosebud County, Montana, is a privately owned water resource regulated by the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC). This earth dam structure, completed in 1980, stands at a height of 31 feet and has a primary purpose classified as "Other." With a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet, this low hazard potential pond serves multiple functions within its watershed.
Situated on Emile Coulee, Pond No. 10 plays a crucial role in water management within the region. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, this facility has been inspected, permitted, and regulated by state authorities, ensuring its functionality and safety. With a normal storage capacity of 15 acre-feet, this pond contributes to the overall water resource infrastructure in the area, providing valuable support for agricultural, recreational, and environmental purposes.
As a significant water resource in the region, Pond No. 10 adds to the diverse network of water management structures in Montana. With its low hazard potential and regulated status, this pond stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Pond No. 10 represents a vital component of the local ecosystem, contributing to the resilience and adaptability of the surrounding environment.

Dam Data Reference
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.
