Built in 1965 by designer George Morris, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. With a storage capacity of 23 acre-feet and a surface area of 2 acres, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in fair condition.
Despite its modest size, Woodmoor C. C. #4 plays a crucial role in supporting local agriculture by providing water for irrigation in the region. The dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 1200 cubic feet per second and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway that is 41 feet wide. The dam has been inspected regularly, with the last assessment conducted in May 2019, and it is regulated and permitted by the Colorado Department of Water Resources.
Although considered to have a moderate risk level, Woodmoor C. C. #4 is deemed to be adequately managed with appropriate risk management measures in place. With its strategic location along Dirty Woman Creek and its contribution to local irrigation needs, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management in sustaining agricultural activities in the El Paso County region.
