Summary
This dam was designed by the USFWS and is regulated by the North Dakota State Water Commission, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. Completed in 1987, Cutler-Marsh Pool 2s serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 11.5 feet and a storage capacity of 470 acre-feet.
The dam's location on the Wild Rice River, within the Omaha District of the USACE, contributes to its significance in managing water resources and climate impacts in the region. With a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment, Cutler-Marsh Pool 2s has not been rated for its condition but is equipped with one vertical lift outlet gate. The dam's surface area covers 59 acres with a drainage area of 0.3 square miles, providing vital water storage and flood control benefits to the area.
Despite lacking some specific details such as a last inspection date and condition assessment, Cutler-Marsh Pool 2s stands as a key infrastructure for water management in North Dakota. Its controlled spillway, Stone core type, and soil foundation further enhance its role in mitigating potential risks and ensuring the efficient regulation of water flow. This dam's presence underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the state.

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.
