Located in Campbell, Wyoming, the Reno Dam is a private structure primarily used for irrigation purposes. Built in 1910, this earth dam stands at 11 feet tall and spans 650 feet in length along Porcupine Creek. With a normal storage capacity of 96 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 166 acre-feet, the Reno Dam plays a crucial role in supplying water for agricultural needs in the region.
Despite its age, the Reno Dam remains in fair condition with a low hazard potential. It is equipped with two slide (sluice gate) outlet gates and an uncontrolled spillway measuring 50 feet in width. The dam has been inspected as recently as April 2020, with a frequency of inspections set at every five years. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, the Reno Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.
In the event of an emergency, the Reno Dam has protocols in place to address potential risks, although specific details on emergency action plans and inundation maps are not readily available. With Liz Cheney serving as the Congressional representative for the area, the Reno Dam serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in maintaining water resources and supporting the local economy through irrigation and water supply.
