Case #1 Dam, located in Eagle, Colorado, is a Federal-owned structure primarily used as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Built in 1908, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a length of 1635 feet, with a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and irrigation, while also supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
Managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service, this dam on Antelope Creek is regulated and inspected by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment as of September 2018, the dam has undergone modifications in 2002 to enhance its hydraulic and structural components. The dam's associated structures include other controlled outlet gates, and it has a spillway width of 78 feet to manage a maximum discharge of 783 cubic feet per second.
Despite being a relatively small dam, Case #1 Dam plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem and water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and multi-purpose design, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure for both environmental and human needs.
