Crompton, located in Uinta, Wyoming, is a privately owned irrigation dam situated on Pleasant Valley Creek in Woodruff, UT. Built in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet, with a storage capacity of 1191 acre-feet and a surface area of 94 acres. Despite its poor condition assessment as of October 2018, Crompton poses a low hazard potential, with a moderate risk level. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 55 feet.
Managed by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, Crompton is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Its primary purpose is irrigation, serving the surrounding agricultural lands. The dam's designer is Emil G. Gradent, and it falls under Congressional District 00, represented by Liz Cheney (R). With its historical significance and ongoing operational challenges, Crompton remains a vital water resource infrastructure for the region, requiring continuous monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and efficiency in water management.
