Goshen No. 2, also known as Bump-Sullivan See 4020r, is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Goshen, Wyoming. Completed in 1924, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a length of 1640 feet, providing a storage capacity of 2063 acre-feet. It is situated on Horse Creek, with a drainage area of 9.4 square miles and a surface area of 441 acres.
Despite its historical significance in supporting agricultural irrigation in the region, Goshen No. 2 currently faces significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment as of the last inspection in May 2019. With a notable presence in the landscape of Goshen County, this dam serves as a critical water resource for the surrounding area. The dam's two slide (sluice gate) outlet gates allow for controlled water release, but the need for maintenance and rehabilitation is evident to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and address the maintenance needs of Goshen No. 2 to safeguard its structural integrity and prevent potential hazards. With the dam being state-regulated and inspected, collaboration with regulatory agencies and stakeholders is essential to develop a comprehensive risk management plan and ensure the continued operation of this vital irrigation infrastructure. By investing in the upkeep and modernization of Goshen No. 2, we can preserve its role in sustaining agricultural activities and water supply in the region for years to come.
