Summary
With a height of 24 feet and a length of 390 feet, this earth dam with stone core types stands as a vital resource in the region. Its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment make it a reliable component of the water management system, ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding area.
Managed by the Sacramento District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Homestead Flat Detention Dam plays a crucial role in water regulation and flood mitigation efforts. Despite its emergency preparedness and risk assessment aspects requiring further development, the dam is supported by state agencies for regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Serving as a key feature in the water infrastructure of Wyoming, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climates and increasing water demands.
With a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a focus on water supply, Homestead Flat Detention Dam embodies the intersection of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship. As climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates, understanding and supporting structures like this dam are essential for ensuring the continued availability and sustainability of water resources in a changing world. Its presence along Logan Creek not only provides vital water storage but also highlights the importance of responsible infrastructure development in safeguarding our natural resources for future generations.

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.
