Summary
Completed in 1999, the dam stands at 8 feet high and spans 613 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. Situated on TR-BUTTE CREEK, the dam is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, ensuring proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures are in place.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Chabot Reservoir Dam #2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources for fish and wildlife conservation in the area. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway type, the dam's design, and location have been carefully considered to minimize any potential risks. The dam's condition is currently not rated, but regular inspections and emergency preparedness protocols are in place to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of changing environmental conditions.
Located in Congressional District 00, Montana, Chabot Reservoir Dam #2 stands as a testament to responsible water resource management, providing vital support for the local ecosystem. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the dam's role in maintaining a healthy habitat for fish and wildlife becomes increasingly significant. By adhering to state regulations and implementing risk management measures, the dam exemplifies the importance of balancing human needs with environmental sustainability in water resource management.

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.
