Corral, located in Park, Wyoming, is a privately owned irrigation dam that was completed in 1983. This earth dam, with a height of 52 feet and a hydraulic height of 47 feet, serves the primary purpose of irrigation along the Corral Draw tributary of Snyder Draw. With a storage capacity of 1027 acre-feet and a surface area of 44 acres, Corral plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, Corral is equipped with a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway to manage water flow. The dam, under the jurisdiction of the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, undergoes regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Although the risk assessment for Corral is moderate, the dam poses important management challenges that require ongoing attention and monitoring to mitigate potential risks and protect downstream areas.
As a key component of the water resource infrastructure in the area, Corral contributes to the efficient distribution of water for agricultural purposes. Its location in Burlington, Wyoming, and its role in managing water from the Corral Draw highlight the importance of maintaining and regulating this essential resource to support the region's water needs and mitigate potential hazards associated with dam operations.
