Summary
Detention is a privately owned dam located in Campbell, Wyoming, along the W Fork Spring Creek. Built in 1968 for flood risk reduction, this earth dam stands at 20 feet high and spans 546 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, it serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Managed by the State of Wyoming, F.C.R. Detention falls under the jurisdiction of the State Engineer's Office, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement conducted by state regulatory agencies. The dam is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and one other controlled outlet gate. Although the risk assessment deems it to have a moderate risk level, the dam meets guidelines for emergency action plans and inundation maps, ensuring preparedness for any unforeseen events. Overall, F.C.R. Detention plays a crucial role in protecting the local community and infrastructure from potential flood damage, highlighting the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.

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.
