Eggleston, located in Cedaredge, Colorado, is a privately owned irrigation dam on Kiser Creek that was completed in 1949. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a structural height of 40 feet and a length of 330 feet. With a storage capacity of 3460 acre-feet and a normal storage of 2560 acre-feet, Eggleston serves the primary purpose of irrigation, with additional recreational benefits.

Despite its fair condition assessment as of July 2020, Eggleston poses a high hazard potential, with a risk assessment rating of 2, indicating a significant level of risk. The dam lacks a spillway and features slide and uncontrolled outlet gates for water release. While it is regulated, permitted, and inspected by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, the dam's maintenance and risk management measures are not specified in the available data.

Given its location in Delta County, Colorado, Eggleston plays a crucial role in water resource management and agricultural irrigation in the region. As a significant infrastructure for the local community, ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and risk mitigation efforts are essential to ensure the safety and functionality of Eggleston for both irrigation and recreational purposes.
