Summary
Built in 2008, this dam stands at a height of 40 feet with a hydraulic height of 35 feet and a structural height of 41 feet. It has a storage capacity of 254 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 15.2 acres, drawing water from the South Draw stream for irrigation and other uses.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Barber Creek 44-1-4876 is subject to regular state inspection and enforcement to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The dam's spillway, with a width of 70 feet, is uncontrolled, and it is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release. The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, indicating a level 3 rating, prompting the need for ongoing risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems.
With Liz Cheney representing Congressional District 00 in Wyoming, Barber Creek 44-1-4876 plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. As an essential infrastructure for fire protection, livestock support, and aquatic habitats, this dam underscores the importance of sustainable water use and conservation practices in a changing climate.

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.
