Summary

This earth-type dam on Carr Creek stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet, with a length of 840 feet. It has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres.

Though the dam has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of the last inspection in April 2021, it poses a moderate risk due to its age and lack of recent updates. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 300 feet wide, may need attention to ensure proper functionality. The dam is subject to state regulations and inspections, with the State Engineer's Office overseeing permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Claudie should note its location in Crook County, Wyoming, and its association with the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its primary purpose being fire protection and stock management, Claudie serves as a vital resource for the local community and wildlife in the area.

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. 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

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, 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.
