About Twelve Pack Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Twelve Pack Lake Dam is tailings. Tailings dams contain waste material from mining operations — typically a slurry of finely ground rock left over after valuable minerals have been extracted. These structures require ongoing monitoring because tailings can contain heavy metals and other contaminants. The dam is owned by Twelve Pack Property Owners (private). It impounds the Rocky Fork near Kimbolton.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 445 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 5 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 132 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1985, the structure is 41 years old.
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. Its condition is rated poor, meaning the dam has recognized safety deficiencies that require remediation to address risks. The most recent inspection on record was 10/26/2022.
