Summary
Completed in 2000, the dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a low hazard potential. It is regulated by the State of Wyoming and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality.
Managed by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs, Goose Pond serves unspecified purposes and is not associated with any other structures. Situated in a picturesque location with a latitude of 42.98 and longitude of -106.2475, the dam is part of the Omaha District and falls under the jurisdiction of the State of Wyoming. While specific details on its condition assessment and emergency preparedness are not available, Goose Pond remains a vital resource for water management in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Goose Pond offers a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and regulatory oversight. With its unique location and low hazard potential, the dam provides valuable insights into the management and maintenance of water resources in Wyoming. As a state-regulated and regularly inspected structure, Goose Pond exemplifies responsible stewardship of water facilities for the benefit of both local communities and the environment.

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.
