Claudie, located in Hulett, Wyoming, is a privately owned dam constructed in 1961 for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. This earth-type dam on Carr Creek stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet, with a length of 840 feet. It has a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres.
Though the dam has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of the last inspection in April 2021, it poses a moderate risk due to its age and lack of recent updates. The spillway, which is uncontrolled and 300 feet wide, may need attention to ensure proper functionality. The dam is subject to state regulations and inspections, with the State Engineer's Office overseeing permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Claudie should note its location in Crook County, Wyoming, and its association with the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its primary purpose being fire protection and stock management, Claudie serves as a vital resource for the local community and wildlife in the area.
