Located in Albany, Wyoming, the Shellhart Fish & Stock pond was completed in 1976 with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Managed by private owners, the dam stands at 27 feet tall and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet, with a storage capacity of 35 acre-feet. The dam, constructed primarily of earth and stone, spans a length of 278 feet and covers a surface area of 7 acres.
Despite being in operation for over four decades, the Shellhart Fish & Stock pond is in poor condition, with a low hazard potential according to the latest inspection in May 2020. The dam has a moderate risk rating and is classified as having a poor condition assessment. The spillway, an uncontrolled type measuring 30 feet in width, is the primary outlet for the pond.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and maintenance of dams and reservoirs in the region may find the Shellhart Fish & Stock pond's data compelling. With its specific details on construction, storage capacity, and condition assessment, this information can help inform discussions on the importance of maintaining and monitoring water infrastructure for both environmental and safety reasons.
