Snider No. 6, located in Powder River, Montana, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1952 for irrigation purposes on Snider Draw. The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet, with a length of 250 feet and a storage capacity of 44 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is in poor condition as of the last inspection in September 2021, raising concerns about its structural integrity and safety.

The dam is regulated by the State of Wyoming and falls under the jurisdiction of the State Engineer's Office. It undergoes regular inspections and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure compliance with safety standards. While the risk assessment deems the dam's risk as moderate, the poor condition assessment suggests that maintenance and potential rehabilitation efforts may be necessary to mitigate any potential hazards and ensure the long-term stability of the structure.

Overall, Snider No. 6 serves a crucial role in supporting irrigation activities in the region but requires attention and investment to address its deteriorating condition. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in following the dam's maintenance and potential risk management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and natural resources.
