Summary
1 is a privately owned earth dam located in Albany, Wyoming, along the Two Bar Creek. This dam, designed by HARRY L. MOORE and completed in 1974, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond creation. With a height of 36 feet and a storage capacity of 45 acre-feet, this dam plays a vital role in maintaining water resources in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Two Bar No. 1 is regulated and inspected by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 32 feet and an outlet gate for water release. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1597 cubic feet per second, this dam provides necessary water management for the surrounding area, ensuring water availability for both human and wildlife needs.
Given its moderate risk assessment level and the need for regular inspections, Two Bar No. 1 remains a critical infrastructure for water resource management in Wyoming. Its strategic location in the wheatland area, along with its multi-purpose design, makes it a key component in maintaining water availability for firefighting, livestock, and recreational purposes 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.
