Strong No.
1 is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Wyoming, specifically in Albany County near the city of Chugwater. Built in 1951, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is irrigation, with secondary functions for fire protection, stock water supply, and small fish pond. Strong No. 1 is situated on Strong Creek and is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state regulatory agency SEO.
Despite its low hazard potential, Strong No. 1's condition assessment is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and improvement. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and a single valve outlet gate. While the risk assessment for this structure is moderate, there are no emergency action plans prepared or updated, raising concerns about response readiness in case of a potential failure. With its historical significance and vital role in local water resource management, Strong No. 1 serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance in safeguarding our critical infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
