T.E.C., also known as Burlington, is a private water resource located in Natrona, Wyoming, with a primary purpose of fire protection, stock, and small fish pond usage. This earth-type dam, completed in 1910, stands at 48 feet high and has a storage capacity of 344 acre-feet. With a significant hazard potential and fair condition assessment, T.E.C. plays a crucial role in serving its community while also facing moderate risk assessment challenges.
Situated along the Trail Draw river or stream, T.E.C. is regulated and inspected by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, ensuring its compliance with state guidelines and safety standards. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and one outlet gate contribute to its emergency response plan, although details on emergency preparedness measures are not specified. Managed under private ownership, T.E.C. serves as a vital resource for fire protection and wildlife habitat in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
As an integral part of the water infrastructure in Wyoming, T.E.C. represents a historical and functional asset in the region. With Liz Cheney (R) as the Congressional Representative for the area, T.E.C. remains a focal point for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates interested in the intersection of dam safety, water conservation, and environmental stewardship. By understanding and addressing the risk factors associated with T.E.C., stakeholders can work towards ensuring the longevity and sustainability of this essential water source for future generations.
