Myers, a private water resource structure located in Uinta, Wyoming, serves the primary purpose of irrigation and was completed in 1954 by designer David P. Miller. The dam, standing at 35 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 30 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 769 acre-feet and a normal storage of 557 acre-feet. Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment, Myers has undergone regular inspections, with the last one conducted in July 2019.
This earth dam on Mill Creek offstream in Woodruff, UT, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. The dam's surface area covers 49 acres, with a drainage area of 0, and it spans 1480 feet in length. Although it has not been modified over the years and lacks associated structures, Myers remains under state jurisdiction and regulation, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
With a moderate risk assessment rating and a congressional representative of Liz Cheney (R), Myers presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts. As efforts continue to maintain and manage this aging irrigation structure, its role in supporting agricultural activities while addressing potential environmental challenges highlights the complex interplay between water infrastructure, regulatory oversight, and community resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
