Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1 dam
Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1
Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1 is a vital infrastructure owned by the Local Government of Gallatin, Montana. Situated offstream, this treatment pond is regulated by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient treatment of wastewater in the area. With a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet, the pond stands at a height of 18 feet with a hydraulic height of 15 feet, primarily serving purposes related to wastewater treatment.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not having a current condition assessment, Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1 remains a key component in the environmental management of the region. While details such as the year of completion and surface area are not provided, the pond's importance in maintaining water quality and managing wastewater discharge cannot be understated. As part of the larger water resource infrastructure, its role in protecting water sources and ecosystems is significant.
With the potential for future risk assessments and management measures, Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1 stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to safeguard water resources in Montana. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the efficient operation and maintenance of such treatment facilities are crucial in ensuring sustainable water management practices. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and supporting the upkeep of essential infrastructure like this treatment pond is vital for the long-term health of our environment.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1
Where does the data for Belgrade Waste Water Treatment Pond 1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
