Ocean Lake Habitat No. 2 Dike A, located in Fremont, Wyoming, is a critical structure designed by Harold O'Malley for the purpose of creating a Fish and Wildlife Pond. This earth dam, completed in 1973, stands at a height of 7 feet with a hydraulic height of 4 feet and a length of 620 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 84 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 45 acres, making it a vital habitat for various aquatic species in the region.
Managed by the State agency SEO, the dam at Ocean Lake Habitat No. 2 Dike A is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced to ensure its structural integrity and overall safety. With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam poses a moderate risk, leading to a regular inspection frequency of 5 years. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway and other controlled outlet gates further enhances the dam's functionality and ability to manage water levels effectively, contributing to the conservation of the surrounding ecosystem.
In the event of emergencies, the dam at Ocean Lake Habitat No. 2 Dike A is equipped with emergency action plans and designated emergency contacts. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified, suggesting a potential area for improvement in ensuring the long-term resilience and sustainability of this essential water resource infrastructure for fish and wildlife conservation in Wyoming.
