Cardine Keith, located in Glenrock, Wyoming, is a privately owned Earth type dam constructed in 1975 for irrigation purposes on the SKEEN CREEK. The dam stands at a height of 40 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a structural height of 45 feet. It has a length of 650 feet and a storage capacity of 169 acre-feet, serving a drainage area of 2.8 square miles.

Despite its age, Cardine Keith has been deemed to have a high hazard potential and poor condition assessment. The last inspection in June 2020 revealed its structural deficiencies, prompting a moderate risk assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and outlet gates with valves. Emergency action plans have been prepared, but updates and revisions are needed to ensure they meet guidelines and are effective in the event of an emergency.

With its historical significance as an essential water resource infrastructure in Natrona County, Cardine Keith serves as a critical reminder of the importance of regular maintenance and risk management measures for ensuring the safety and sustainability of dams in the face of changing climate conditions. Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates can appreciate the challenges and opportunities presented by the ongoing management and preservation efforts for this vital piece of infrastructure.
