Summary
Designed by Hugh Lowham, this dam serves multiple purposes including irrigation, tailings, and other uses. Standing at a height of 10 feet with a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, it was completed in 2010 and has a storage capacity of 202 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Hutton 4-24-5684 is currently in poor condition as of its last inspection in March 2020. With a drainage area of 0 square miles and a surface area of 18 acres, this dam poses a risk due to its deteriorating state. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and address the maintenance and rehabilitation needs of this structure to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing environmental conditions.
Located within Congressional District 00 in Wyoming, Hutton 4-24-5684 is subject to state regulation and inspection. With its primary purpose identified as "other," this dam plays a significant role in water management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is imperative for stakeholders to prioritize the upkeep and modernization of infrastructure like Hutton 4-24-5684 to adapt to evolving conditions and protect against potential risks to both the environment and local communities.

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.
