Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal dam
Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal
Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal is a private facility located in Campbell, Wyoming, designed by Tyson Markham in 2015. The dam, standing at 18 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 15 feet, serves as a crucial part of the state's water resource management system. Situated near Greasewood Creek, the dam has a storage capacity of 259 acre-feet, providing essential support for the region's water needs.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal is subject to regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. This earth dam spans 1200 feet in length and covers an area of 16 acres, contributing to the sustainable management of water resources in the area. The facility plays a vital role in maintaining water quality and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities.
With its strategic location and importance in water management, Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to regulate and monitor water resources in Wyoming. As a key player in the state's water infrastructure, this facility underscores the commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices in the face of changing climate conditions. Its role in safeguarding water resources and ensuring resilience against potential hazards highlights the vital significance of responsible water management practices in the region.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal
Where does the data for Bluegrass Produced Water Disposal come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
