Summary
2 Stock, located in Converse, Wyoming, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1984 by designer Detmer R. Knapp. This multipurpose structure serves as a fire protection, stock, and small fish pond for the local community, with a primary purpose of providing essential resources and protection. With a height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 20 feet, Gene No. 2 Stock has a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres, drawing water from the Hittner Draw.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Gene No. 2 Stock is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 12 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 76 cubic feet per second. In the event of emergencies, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans, although details regarding preparedness and guidelines compliance are currently unspecified. Overall, Gene No. 2 Stock presents a moderate risk factor of 3 on a scale, emphasizing the importance of diligent monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water resource infrastructure.

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.
