Coy is a privately owned irrigation dam located in Uinta, Wyoming, along Yellow Creek off Channel. Designed by Kenneth E. Hansen and completed in 2009, this earth dam stands at 13 feet high and has a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 80 acre-feet and a drainage area of 43 square miles, Coy plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
The dam features a valve outlet with two gates and an uncontrolled spillway that is 4 feet wide. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Coy is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. The surrounding area, including Meadow Vista Road and nearby communities, benefits from the water supply and flood control provided by this essential infrastructure.
Managed by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, Coy serves as a vital component of the local water management system. With its moderate risk assessment score of 3, ongoing risk management measures are in place to safeguard against potential hazards. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the role that Coy plays in supporting agriculture and community well-being in this part of Wyoming.
