Overview
Barretts Diversion Dam is a concrete, gated structure with embankment wings on the Beaverhead River 8 miles southwest of Dillon, Mont. The spillway capacity is 2,500 cubic feet per second, controlled by one 24- by 10-foot radial gate. The sluiceway is controlled by one 8- by 10-foot radial gate. The headworks capacity of East Bench Canal is 440 cubic feet per second, controlled by two 10- by 8-foot radial gates. The Canyon Canal headworks capacity is 200 cubic feet per second, controlled by one 10- by 8-foot radial gate. One 24-inch-diameter slide gate and one 36- by 30-inch slide gate, in series, control the discharge of water into the existing Rebich Ditch, which has a capacity of 12 cubic feet per second. A fish excluder is upstream of the canal headworks.
