Valarie Irrigation, located in Campbell, Wyoming, along Valerie Draw, is a privately owned earth dam that primarily serves the purpose of irrigation. Constructed in 1962, this structure stands at 30 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a length of 925 feet. With a storage capacity of 207 acre-feet, it covers a surface area of 15 acres and has a spillway width of 150 feet. Despite its poor condition assessment, Valarie Irrigation poses a low hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating.

Operated under the jurisdiction of the State Engineer's Office in Wyoming, this irrigation facility is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam features a single slide gate for outlet control and is categorized as a stone-core earth dam with a foundation in soil. While it has not undergone significant modifications since its completion, Valarie Irrigation is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. In case of emergencies, the facility's emergency action plan and risk management measures are yet to be fully prepared and implemented.

Despite its age and current condition, Valarie Irrigation continues to play a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and maintaining such irrigation infrastructure is essential to ensure sustainable water management practices and the resilience of the surrounding ecosystem. With a focus on improving its condition assessment and emergency preparedness, Valarie Irrigation can continue to contribute positively to the local community and economy while mitigating potential risks associated with its operation.
