Broadbent No. 2, also known as Byrne, is a privately owned dam located in Uinta, Wyoming, specifically in the city of Granger. This earth dam was completed in 1961 and stands at a height of 22 feet, with a hydraulic height of 17 feet and a structural height of 26 feet. The primary purpose of Broadbent No. 2 is for irrigation, specifically for the irrigation of Little Byrne Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of its last inspection in September 2018. It has a normal storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 184 acre-feet. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway type with a width of 10 feet and features a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate for water release. The risk assessment for Broadbent No. 2 is considered moderate, with a DSAC assigned date yet to be determined.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams in Wyoming would find Broadbent No. 2 to be a fascinating case study. With its historical significance dating back to the 1960s and its current condition assessment raising concerns, this dam presents an opportunity for further research and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.
