Summary
1 is a privately owned dam located in Guernsey, Wyoming, along the King Creek. Built in 1955, this earth dam stands at 37 feet high and has a capacity of 263 acre-feet for water supply purposes, primarily irrigation. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is in poor condition as of the last inspection in September 2021.
With a spillway width of 100 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type, Center Realty No. 1 poses a moderate risk (rated 3) in terms of potential hazards. The dam is regularly inspected, with an assessment frequency of 5 years, but its poor condition raises concerns for its long-term stability. The dam's location in Converse County, Wyoming, adds to its significance in the region's water resource management.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the condition and management of dams like Center Realty No. 1 is crucial for understanding the impact of aging infrastructure on water supply and safety. With ongoing regulatory oversight and inspections, it's essential to monitor the risk level and maintenance efforts for this important structure in the Omaha District's jurisdiction.

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.
