Kaufmann is a privately owned Earth dam located in Ucross, Wyoming, along the Jeffers No. One Draw river or stream. Built in 1954 for irrigation purposes, this dam stands at 49 feet high and has a storage capacity of 196 acre-feet. Despite its poor condition assessment, the hazard potential of Kaufmann is classified as low, with a moderate risk level.

Although the dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 50 feet, it lacks drainage area and maximum discharge capacity. The inspection frequency for Kaufmann is every 5 years, with the last assessment conducted in July 2018. The dam is regulated and permitted by the State of Wyoming, with enforcement and inspection mechanisms in place.

Overall, Kaufmann serves as a vital water resource infrastructure for the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and enhancing its structural integrity to ensure sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
