Moslander is a private earth dam located in Uinta, Wyoming, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Completed in 1948, the dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a storage capacity of 422 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, raising concerns about its structural integrity and long-term reliability for water resource management.
Situated on the Cold Spring or Fifteen Creek, Moslander serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond support in addition to irrigation. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a width of 40 feet, providing limited discharge capacity in case of excess water levels. The overall risk assessment for Moslander is moderate, indicating a need for ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the dam.
Moslander's location in Wyoming's picturesque landscape underscores the importance of maintaining and upgrading aging infrastructure to adapt to changing climate conditions. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to advocate for sustainable practices and investments in dam safety to safeguard our natural resources and communities for future generations.
