Corpening, also known as Campbell Lake, is a private irrigation reservoir located in Saratoga, Wyoming. Built in 1947, this earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 176 acre-feet. While primarily used for irrigation purposes, Corpening is also regulated by the state and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Despite its low hazard potential, Corpening has been assessed to be in poor condition as of August 2021. With a moderate risk rating, measures for risk management and assessment are yet to be fully implemented. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and measures 40 feet in width, ensuring proper water release during high flow events. Despite its age, Corpening remains a vital resource for the local community, serving as a key component of the irrigation infrastructure in Carbon County, Wyoming.
With its historical significance and ongoing maintenance needs, Corpening stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. As enthusiasts in this field, understanding the complexities and challenges faced by structures like Corpening is crucial for developing sustainable solutions and safeguarding our water resources for future generations.
