Karl is a private earth dam located in Clearmont, Wyoming, along the North Weagle Draw river. Completed in 1957, this dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond. With a height of 30 feet and a length of 218 feet, Karl has a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres.
Despite its age, Karl is in fair condition with a low hazard potential, making it a reliable water resource for the surrounding area. The dam is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in April 2020. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently not available, but its compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements ensures the safety of the community.
With Liz Cheney (R) as the Congressional representative for the area, Karl's presence in Johnson County contributes to the local water management infrastructure. As a key feature in the region's water resource system, Karl plays a crucial role in ensuring water availability for fire protection, livestock, and recreational purposes. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Karl to be an intriguing example of sustainable water management practices in Wyoming.
