Summary
Built in 1992 by USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 12 feet, providing a storage capacity of 190 acre-feet for the nearby Mauvais Coulee-TR river. While the dam's primary purpose is irrigation, it also serves as an essential water resource for the region, helping to support agricultural activities in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Belzer Holding Pd;Terry 2 is considered to have a high risk level due to certain factors. While it is not currently rated for its condition, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality. With a risk assessment rating of 2, it is crucial for proper risk management measures to be in place to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam.
As an integral part of the local water infrastructure, Belzer Holding Pd;Terry 2 plays a vital role in water management and agricultural activities in the region. With its strategic location along the Mauvais Coulee-TR river and its significant storage capacity, this dam serves as a critical resource for the community, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and risk management to ensure its continued functionality and safety.

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.
