Summary

F.S. 9-117-2 is a federal-owned earth dam located in Campbell, Wyoming, along the Deer Draw river stream. Completed in 1968, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and as a small fish pond. With a height of 24 feet and a length of 165 feet, it has a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.1 square miles. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 and is classified as having a low hazard potential, with a fair condition assessment as of July 2020.

Managed by the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wenande No. F.S. 9-117-2 has one uncontrolled spillway and an outlet gate. The dam is regularly inspected with a frequency of every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in July 2020. While there are no associated structures or emergency action plan prepared for this dam, it is deemed to meet regulatory guidelines with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The risk management measures and inundation maps for this dam are not specified in the available data, but its location and purpose make it a vital resource for water management and climate resilience in the region.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
