Summary

4052sr, is a privately owned earth dam located in Sheridan, Wyoming. Completed in 1960, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. It stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 23 feet and a structural height of 30 feet. With a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a surface area of 4.28 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Situated on Fork 2 Draw, T55nr76w30nese has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in August 2018. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 and is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and Department of Environmental Quality. Despite not having outlet gates, this dam has a spillway width of 10 feet for uncontrolled water release. With a drainage area of 0.27 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 240 cubic feet per second, T55nr76w30nese is an essential infrastructure for managing water flow in the region.

Though T55nr76w30nese has not undergone recent modifications or emergency action plan updates, its role in fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management highlights its importance in maintaining water resources and climate sustainability in the area. As water enthusiasts and climate advocates, understanding the function and condition of dams like T55nr76w30nese is crucial for effectively managing and preserving our water ecosystems.

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.
