Summary
Constructed in 1967, this dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 271 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition according to a recent inspection conducted in April 2021.
This dam on Rocky Butte Gulch is regulated by the State of Wyoming's SEO agency and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there are concerns about the dam's structural integrity and the potential impact of a failure. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway and poor condition assessment highlight the need for ongoing maintenance and potential upgrades to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and downstream communities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and address the condition of dams like Rocky Gulch Stock to mitigate risks of failure and protect water resources. With proper maintenance and risk management measures, this dam can continue to serve its intended purposes while safeguarding the environment and public safety in Campbell, Wyoming.

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.
