May 1, 2024
Antelope Springs Dam, located in Sweetwater Station, Wyoming, is a gravity dam primarily used for fire protection, stock, and as a small fish pond. Built in 1940 by the Bureau of Land Management, this dam on Antelope Creek stands at a structural height of 21 feet and has a hydraulic height of 13 feet. With a storage capacity of 84.5 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 7.1 acres and serves a drainage area of 1.21 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential, Antelope Springs Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection was conducted in September 2015. The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan in place, and there is no information available on its risk assessment or risk management measures. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the dam's construction, operation, and regulatory oversight fall under the jurisdiction of the federal agency.
Antelope Springs Dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for fire protection and supporting local wildlife in the region. As a key structure in the area, continued monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure its long-term functionality and safety for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
