Pond 1, located in Sweetwater, Wyoming, is a private water resource structure designed by David H. Scriven for the primary purpose of tailings storage. This earth dam, completed in 1981, stands at a height of 47 feet with a hydraulic height of 42 feet and a length of 14,000 feet. With a storage capacity of 6,505 acre-feet and a surface area of 0.41 acres, Pond 1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Despite its low hazard potential, Pond 1 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the State Engineer's Office in Wyoming. The dam, built on soil foundations with a stone core, poses a high risk due to its location near Tennecco Draw. While it lacks a spillway and outlet gates, Pond 1 has not been modified since its completion and remains in fair condition, though not rated for a formal assessment.

Owned by a private entity, Pond 1 serves as a vital water management structure in the region, contributing to the overall water resource management efforts. With its strategic location and design features, Pond 1 stands as a testament to effective water resource infrastructure for tailings storage in Wyoming.
