Sand Draw is a privately owned earth dam located in Arvada, Wyoming, along the Coal Gulch river. Built in 1968 by designer Clifford J Sanders, this dam primarily serves for irrigation purposes, with a maximum storage capacity of 180 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 112 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 45 feet, with a spillway width of 50 feet, and is classified as a low hazard potential structure with a poor condition assessment.
Despite its age and condition, Sand Draw remains an essential water resource for the surrounding area, providing vital irrigation water for agricultural activities. The dam's location within the Omaha District and its state-regulated status ensure ongoing maintenance, inspections, and enforcement to mitigate any potential risks. With a moderate risk assessment rating, stakeholders must continue to monitor and manage the dam to uphold its structural integrity and safety for both the community and the environment.
