Summary
Standing at 34 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 25 feet, this dam spans 724 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 102 acre-feet. The dam has a moderate risk rating of 3 and is classified as having a low hazard potential.
Managed by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, Al Capone has state-regulated permitting, inspection, and enforcement procedures in place. The dam is situated on Scarface Draw, a local road in Wyoming, and is designed to provide fire protection, stock, irrigation, and habitat for small fish and wildlife. The structure's fair condition assessment as of October 2017 indicates a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
Overall, Al Capone serves as a vital resource for water management and conservation in the region, supporting various ecological and agricultural activities. With Liz Cheney as the congressional representative for the area, the dam's strategic location and design contribute to the sustainable use of water resources in Wyoming, highlighting the importance of effective dam management practices for climate and water resource enthusiasts.

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.
