Summary
Constructed in 1970, this Earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-MILLAM CREEK, the dam covers a surface area of 3 acres and has a drainage area of 24 square miles.
Despite its recreational focus, Casper Lake Dam holds a high hazard potential, with its condition currently not rated. The dam has not been inspected recently and lacks crucial emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The structure's hazard potential combined with its unknown condition assessment raises concerns for the safety and security of the surrounding area.
While Casper Lake Dam provides a scenic spot for recreational activities, its high hazard potential and lack of recent inspections and emergency preparedness measures highlight the importance of ensuring its safety and maintenance. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data on this dam serves as a reminder of the critical need for regular monitoring and upkeep of infrastructure to prevent potential risks and ensure the protection of communities and the environment.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
