Detention 1592 #1 Dam, located in Carbon County, Wyoming, was constructed in 1955 by the Bureau of Land Management for the primary purpose of debris control along the Robbers Gulch on the River or Stream. This gravity dam stands at a hydraulic height of 31 feet and a structural height of 36 feet, with a length of 702 feet and a storage capacity of 74.36 acre-feet. While the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in fair condition, it is not regulated or inspected by state agencies, with the Bureau of Land Management overseeing its operations and maintenance.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and lacks outlet gates, with a moderate risk assessment indicating a level 3 risk. Despite not being under the jurisdiction of state agencies, Detention 1592 #1 Dam is federally owned and funded by the Bureau of Land Management, which also designed and constructed the structure. The dam is situated in a remote area with limited associated structures, and its last inspection date was in July 2016. Given its purpose and design, this dam serves a crucial role in managing debris and maintaining the flow of Robbers Gulch, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and federal land ownership in Wyoming's natural landscape.
