Bull Creek is a private irrigation dam located in Crook, Wyoming, with a primary purpose of providing water for irrigation. Constructed in 1978 by designer Donald L. Egge, this earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and has a storage capacity of 2378 acre-feet. The dam has a structural height of 40 feet and a spillway width of 100 feet, with uncontrolled spillway type.
Despite its low hazard potential, Bull Creek is rated as having poor condition as of the last inspection in September 2017. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a risk rating of 3 out of 5. While the dam is state regulated and permitted, with inspections and enforcement in place, its condition assessment indicates a need for maintenance and potential improvements to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bull Creek presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and environmental stewardship in the region.
