Summary
With a dam height of 30 feet and a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and fish and wildlife habitat. The dam's low hazard potential and fair condition assessment make it a reliable water resource for the surrounding area.
The dam's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 30 feet, and it has one outlet valve for water release. The structure covers a surface area of 4.01 acres and has a drainage area of 50.8 square miles. With a moderate risk assessment of 3, the dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its age, 13-19-56-82 continues to play a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.
Managed by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, this dam is a key component of the local water infrastructure. With Liz Cheney representing the Congressional District, efforts are in place to maintain and improve the dam's operations to meet the water needs of the community. Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of 13-19-56-82 in sustaining irrigation, wildlife, and recreational activities in the area.

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.
