Kingsbury Todd No. 2 dam
Kingsbury Todd No. 2
Kingsbury Todd No. 2 is a private irrigation dam located in Johnson County, Wyoming, along the Little North Fork Crazy Woman River. Built in 1917, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a hydraulic height of 29 feet, providing a storage capacity of 706 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 1240 feet and covers a surface area of 44 acres, serving the primary purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area.
Despite its historical significance, Kingsbury Todd No. 2 is facing challenges in terms of its condition assessment, which has been rated as poor. The dam has a significant hazard potential, leading to a moderate risk assessment of 3. With the last inspection conducted in April 2019, it is crucial to address the maintenance and safety concerns to ensure the continued functionality and safety of the structure.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of maintaining and managing dams like Kingsbury Todd No. 2 is essential for sustainable water management practices. With its location in a critical watershed area, the dam plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities and water supply in the region. It is important to prioritize the necessary upgrades and maintenance to mitigate risks and ensure the long-term resilience of this infrastructure.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Kingsbury Todd No. 2
Where does the data for Kingsbury Todd No. 2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
