Summary
The earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a hydraulic height of 24 feet, with a length of 460 feet and a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition, with a moderate risk rating of 3.
The dam, situated on Suranyi Draw and managed by the State of Wyoming, is subject to state regulation and inspection for safety and compliance. The valve outlet gate is the only means of controlled water release, with a spillway width of 35 feet. The surrounding area covers 6 acres, serving as an important water resource for the local community. In light of the dam's condition assessment and risk rating, ongoing maintenance and potential risk management measures may be necessary to ensure the continued safety and functionality of Suranyi Stock for fire protection and livestock water supply.
With its historical significance and multi-purpose functionality, Suranyi Stock represents a valuable water resource infrastructure within the state. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is an opportunity to engage in discussions and actions to address the dam's current condition and risk profile, ensuring its continued contribution to fire protection and stock water supply. As stakeholders in water management and infrastructure, it is important to advocate for proper maintenance and potential upgrades to safeguard this essential asset for the future.

Dam Data Reference
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.
