Pass Creek, also known as Hard Luck, is a private water resource located in Arvada, Wyoming, under the jurisdiction of the State Engineer's Office. Constructed in 1953, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and serves the primary purposes of fire protection, stock watering, and creating a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet, Pass Creek covers a surface area of 9 acres and has a spillway width of 80 feet to manage water flow.

Despite its low hazard potential, Pass Creek's condition assessment was marked as unsatisfactory during its last inspection in June 2019. The dam's risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, highlighting the need for improved risk management measures. The dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, raising concerns about preparedness for potential emergencies. With a history of state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, Pass Creek remains a crucial water resource for fire protection and livestock in the region, but efforts are needed to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of climate challenges.
