Canary Grove Livestock Reservoir, located in Carbon County, Wyoming, serves as a vital water resource for fire protection, livestock, and small fish pond purposes. Built in 1999 by the NRCS under designer Duane Klamm, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 26 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 32 feet. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet, the reservoir covers a surface area of 3.9 acres and has a drainage area of 1.63 square miles, providing essential water supply in the region.
Despite its importance, the reservoir's condition assessment is marked as poor, raising concerns about its long-term sustainability. The dam, with a low hazard potential, features an uncontrolled spillway and a single outlet gate. The last inspection conducted in September 2019 revealed the need for improvements to ensure the reservoir's safety and functionality. With a moderate risk level assigned, it is crucial for the reservoir's risk management measures to be addressed promptly to mitigate potential hazards and secure its continued operation for the community.
As a significant water infrastructure in Wyoming, Canary Grove Livestock Reservoir plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture, fire protection, and ecological needs in the region. With proper maintenance and necessary upgrades, this reservoir can continue to serve as a reliable water resource for the community while addressing the challenges posed by climate change and evolving water resource management practices.
