Summary

Completed in 2008, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond management. With a structural height of 39 feet and a hydraulic height of 37 feet, Barber Creek 34-35-4976 has a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 55 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 5 acres.

Despite being classified as low hazard potential, this dam is regularly inspected by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, with the last assessment conducted in September 2018. The dam's condition is rated as fair, and it has an emergency action plan in place. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Barber Creek 34-35-4976 is considered to have manageable risks, although further risk management measures may be implemented in the future. Additionally, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and an outlet gate for water regulation.

Located in an area represented by Liz Cheney in Congressional District 00 of Wyoming, Barber Creek 34-35-4976 plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate studies, staying informed about the design, construction, and maintenance of structures like Barber Creek 34-35-4976 is essential for understanding the impact of these systems on local ecosystems and communities.

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.
