Summary
This multipurpose dam serves for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres. The dam stands at a height of 18 feet, with a hydraulic height of 15 feet, and a structural height of 20 feet.
The dam, situated on Black Thunder Creek and School Creek, is regulated by the State and inspected by the SEO agency. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Teckla-9-298-4 has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam has not been modified over the years and is considered to meet guidelines for emergency action plans. The last inspection was conducted in May 2011, with a frequency of every 10 years.
Teckla-9-298-4, under the ownership and management of the Forest Service, plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in Campbell County, Wyoming. With its diverse purposes and strategic location, this dam continues to contribute to the local ecosystem and community's water needs while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

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.
