Summary
With a height of 20 feet and a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, this structure on the TR-West Cottonwood Creek serves as a vital resource for the local community. Despite its low hazard potential and state-regulated status, Lockie #3 has not been formally rated for its condition, suggesting the need for further assessment and potential maintenance.
Managed by the DNRC and falling under the jurisdiction of the state, Lockie #3 plays a crucial role in providing essential services to the area. With a focus on fire protection and livestock management, this dam serves as a valuable asset in the region's water resource infrastructure. Although specific details such as spillway type and structural height are not provided, the dam's importance in safeguarding the community's water needs cannot be understated.
As a key component in the local water management system, Lockie #3 warrants attention from water resource and climate enthusiasts. Its strategic location, purpose, and regulatory oversight highlight the intersection of environmental stewardship and community resilience. By understanding and monitoring the condition of structures like Lockie #3, stakeholders can ensure the continued safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
