Summary
Built in 2004 by designer Hugh Lowham, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 745 feet. It serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, fire protection, stock, and small fish pond maintenance, with a storage capacity of 103 acre-feet.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Rhonda is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and Department of Environmental Quality. The dam has a controlled spillway width of 100 feet and one outlet valve. In the event of an emergency, the dam has not yet prepared an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) but is inspected every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite its moderate risk assessment, Rhonda provides important water resource management for the surrounding area. With its strategic location along County Road and proximity to Congressional District 00, Wyoming, this dam plays a vital role in sustaining agricultural activities and safeguarding the local ecosystem. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Rhonda's design and operational details intriguing, as it showcases the intersection of engineering, environmental regulation, and emergency preparedness in water infrastructure management.

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.
