Paul is a privately owned earth dam located in Carbon County, Wyoming, specifically in the city of Arvada along Castle Creek. Built in 1953 for irrigation purposes, this structure stands at 20 feet high and spans 1343 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 387 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition, requiring attention and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
With a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a spillway width of 20 feet, Paul poses a moderate risk due to its poor condition assessment. While it has not been modified in recent years, the dam's inspection frequency is set at every 5 years to monitor its structural integrity. The dam is equipped with a slide sluice gate as its outlet gate, and although it has a low hazard potential, its risk assessment rating indicates the need for proactive risk management measures to mitigate any potential issues.
Located within Congressional District 00, Wyoming, Paul is under state jurisdiction and regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unspecified, highlighting the importance of consistent monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of this essential water resource for irrigation in the region.
