Enlargement Of The 29-35-4 dam
Enlargement Of The 29-35-4
Enlargement of The 29-35-4, located in Carbon, Wyoming, serves as a vital structure for debris control along the MED 11 DRAW river. Constructed in 1993, this earth dam stands at 30 feet high with a hydraulic height of 27 feet, providing a storage capacity of 24 acre-feet. With a surface area of 2 acres and a drainage area of 0.52 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and managing water resources in the region.
Managed by a private owner, the Enlargement of The 29-35-4 has been deemed to have a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment. Despite its modest size, the dam's spillway width of 5 feet allows for a maximum discharge of 102 cubic feet per second. The structure is regulated and inspected by the SEO, ensuring its compliance with state permitting and enforcement regulations for continued safe operation.
With Liz Cheney (R) representing the Congressional District of Wyoming, the Enlargement of The 29-35-4 stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Its moderate risk assessment rating underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring this crucial infrastructure to safeguard against potential hazards and preserve the surrounding ecosystem for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Enlargement Of The 29-35-4
Where does the data for Enlargement Of The 29-35-4 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
