Goshen Hole, also known as Springer, is a privately owned irrigation structure located in Goshen, Wyoming, near the city of Yoder. Completed in 1957, this Earth-type dam stands at 26 feet high with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a length of 1220 feet. It serves multiple purposes including irrigation, fish and wildlife pond, and recreation, with a storage capacity of 8109 acre-feet and a surface area of 787 acres.
Despite its significance in providing water for irrigation and other activities, Goshen Hole is facing challenges in terms of maintenance and safety. The dam is rated as having a poor condition assessment, with a significant hazard potential. The last inspection conducted in May 2019 revealed the need for improvements, and it is categorized as having a moderate risk level. Emergency action plans and risk management measures are currently not up to date, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure.
Given its location on Offstream Horse Creek and its role in water resource management, climate enthusiasts and stakeholders should pay close attention to the condition and management of Goshen Hole. As a vital infrastructure for irrigation and recreation in the area, efforts to improve its condition, update emergency plans, and implement risk management measures are crucial to safeguarding the surrounding communities and ecosystems that rely on this water resource.
