Little Red No. 2, located in Clearmont, Wyoming, is a privately-owned earth dam built in 1966 for irrigation purposes on Clear Creek. Standing at 36 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 31 feet, this structure provides a maximum storage capacity of 351 acre-feet and a normal storage of 228 acre-feet across its 630-foot length. Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, indicating a need for maintenance and improvements to ensure its continued safety and functionality.

Although the dam has not undergone recent modifications, it features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 80 feet and a single slide (sluice gate) outlet gate. The last inspection in April 2021 revealed its poor condition, prompting concerns about its long-term stability. With a moderate risk assessment score of 3, stakeholders should prioritize implementing risk management measures and conducting necessary repairs to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community and environment from the impacts of a dam failure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the status of Little Red No. 2 is crucial for understanding its role in supporting local irrigation needs and the importance of proactive dam maintenance practices.
