Summary
This dam, situated on the TR South Branch North Fork Creek, falls under Congressional District 15 and is classified as a buttress core type structure with unknown foundations. With a drainage area of 0.82 square kilometers, Monteville poses a significant hazard potential and has an inspection frequency of 2 times per year.
Despite lacking specific information on its design and construction, Monteville remains a crucial component of the local water management infrastructure. The dam's condition is currently not rated, but it is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safe operation. While the dam's exact purpose, storage capacity, and discharge capabilities are unspecified, its presence underscores the importance of proper regulation and maintenance in safeguarding water resources and mitigating potential risks associated with dam failure in the region.
As an essential water resource in the area, Monteville serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness between climate, water resources, and infrastructure. The dam's location, design, and regulatory oversight highlight the ongoing efforts to balance water management needs with environmental conservation and public safety considerations. Moving forward, continued monitoring, assessment, and risk management measures will be essential to ensure the long-term resilience and sustainability of Monteville and similar structures in the face of evolving climate challenges and water resource demands.

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.
