About Schulte Dam
The primary purpose of Schulte 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 Brad Schulte (private). It impounds the Tr- Devils Creek near Montrose.
The dam stands 33 feet tall and stretches 185 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 21 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. Completed in 2000, the structure is 26 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.
At 33 feet, this dam is taller than 78% of dams nationwide.
