Summary
13 is a privately-owned earth dam located in Campbell, Wyoming, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Built in 2001 by designer Hugh Lowham, this dam stands at a height of 13 feet and has a hydraulic height of 5 feet, providing storage of up to 468 acre-feet of water. The dam's surface area covers 44.04 acres, serving a drainage area of 0.07 square miles with a maximum discharge capacity of 1926 cubic feet per second.
Despite being regulated by the state and meeting inspection and enforcement standards, Heinrich No. 13 is considered to have a low hazard potential and is currently in satisfactory condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and has no outlet gates. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not explicitly stated in the available data.
Located in a closed basin near County Road, Heinrich No. 13 plays a crucial role in providing irrigation water for agricultural purposes in the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find this dam's design and functionality intriguing, as it demonstrates the importance of effective water management for both agricultural and environmental sustainability in Wyoming's water 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.
