Summary
Designed by Megan Crow and completed in 1981, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 650 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet, the dam primarily caters to irrigation needs while also serving purposes such as fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond maintenance.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the 43-3-5375 dam is subject to regular inspections by state regulatory agencies. With a moderate risk assessment score, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and inundation maps preparedness remain unclear. Nevertheless, its location on a local road, close to the BOXELDER DRAW river, underscores the importance of monitoring and maintaining this infrastructure to ensure water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
Owned privately and regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, the 43-3-5375 dam plays a critical role in the agricultural landscape of Campbell County. With a history of state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, this dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management, climate adaptation, and infrastructure resilience in the region.

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.
