Edgerton Stock, located in Campbell County, Wyoming, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and as a small fish pond. The earth dam, with a height of 23 feet and a length of 1005 feet, was completed in 1953 on Horse Creek. Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
With a normal storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 123 acre-feet, Edgerton Stock provides essential water resources for the surrounding area. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and a slide gate outlet. Although the drainage area is limited, the dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation, particularly for fire protection and livestock grazing in the region.
Managed by a private owner, Edgerton Stock is regulated by the state of Wyoming and adheres to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam's location in Congressional District 00, Wyoming, underscores its significance in the local ecosystem and highlights the importance of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
