Summary
Located on SA Creek off-channel, this dam stands at a height of 16 feet with a hydraulic height of 3 feet and a structural height of 16 feet. It has a storage capacity of 278 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 157 acre-feet and a surface area of 24 acres.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Duck Pond is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the State of Wyoming. The dam has no associated structures and is primarily used for irrigation, fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. Although it has not been modified in recent years, the last inspection in July 2019 noted that it meets safety guidelines and is regularly maintained.
While Duck Pond may not be the largest or most complex dam, its importance in providing water resources for agricultural and environmental purposes cannot be understated. With its strategic location and efficient design, this dam serves as a vital asset in managing water supply and supporting the local ecosystem in Campbell, Wyoming.

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.
