Reese, located in Gleno Reservoir, Wyoming, is a private fish and wildlife pond that serves as a vital source of water and habitat for the local ecosystem. Built in 2007, this earth dam stands at 23 feet tall and spans 1265 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 194 acre-feet and a surface area of 15.5 acres. The dam, constructed by designer Mark Opitz, is regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safe operation.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Reese poses a moderate risk that is actively managed to mitigate any potential threats. The dam features a valve outlet gate, an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 380 feet, and a maximum discharge capacity of 27,600 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is crucial for maintaining water resources in the area and supporting the diverse aquatic life in Muddy Creek, which flows nearby. Reese serves as a testament to the importance of responsible water management for sustaining ecosystems and protecting valuable natural resources in the face of climate variability and change.
