Thomas No.
2 is a privately owned earth dam located in Hulett, Wyoming along the Thomas Draw river. Built in 1948 for irrigation purposes, this dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 145 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently in poor condition as per the last inspection in September 2017, with a moderate risk assessment score of 3.
With a spillway width of 50 feet and no outlet gates, Thomas No. 2 poses a limited risk to downstream areas in case of a breach or overflow. However, the dam's condition assessment and risk management measures need to be improved to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the integrity of the structure. As a part of the State of Wyoming's regulatory jurisdiction, ongoing inspections and enforcement efforts are crucial to mitigate any potential hazards associated with this aging dam.
