Caeser, located in Big Horn, Wyoming, is a federal-owned dam primarily used for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. Built in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 26 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 29 acre-feet and a normal storage of 17 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 3 acres.

Despite its low hazard potential, Caeser's poor condition assessment in 2017 raises concerns for its long-term reliability. The dam's inspection frequency is set at every 5 years, with the last assessment taking place in April 2017. With a moderate risk rating of 3, there is a need for enhanced risk management measures to ensure the dam's safety and functionality.

Although Caeser has an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 30 feet, it lacks outlet gates. With the dam located along Caeser Fork, it plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from fires and providing water for livestock and small fish ponds. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring the condition and maintenance of dams like Caeser is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of water resources in the region.
