About Bruce Gamet Dam
The primary purpose of Bruce Gamet Dam is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Bruce Gamet (private). It impounds the Tr-west Muddy near Trenton.
The dam stands 29 feet tall and stretches 346 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 21 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 88 square miles. Completed in 2003, the structure is relatively new.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 02/10/2003. That was over 23 years ago.
