Summary
Built in 2003 by designer Hugh W. Lowham, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, fish and wildlife pond, and irrigation. With a hydraulic height of 12.3 feet and a structural height of 24.9 feet, this dam has a capacity of 75.29 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.83 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the condition of Sorenson 11-22-5574 is assessed as fair. The last inspection conducted in April 2020 revealed that the dam meets regulatory requirements and is regularly monitored for any signs of deterioration. The dam has no spillway and features an outlet gate of Needle type.
Located in a high-risk area, Sorenson 11-22-5574 does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, indicating a potential area for improvement in risk management. With Liz Cheney as the Congressional Representative overseeing this district, enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Sorenson 11-22-5574's design and purpose fascinating in the context of ecological conservation and sustainable water management practices.

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.
