Located in Campbell, Wyoming, the 43-3-5375 dam, also known as BOXELDER DRAW, serves as a crucial irrigation structure for the region. Designed by Megan Crow and completed in 1981, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 650 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet, the dam primarily caters to irrigation needs while also serving purposes such as fire protection, stock watering, and small fish pond maintenance.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the 43-3-5375 dam is subject to regular inspections by state regulatory agencies. With a moderate risk assessment score, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk management measures, and inundation maps preparedness remain unclear. Nevertheless, its location on a local road, close to the BOXELDER DRAW river, underscores the importance of monitoring and maintaining this infrastructure to ensure water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
Owned privately and regulated by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office, the 43-3-5375 dam plays a critical role in the agricultural landscape of Campbell County. With a history of state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, this dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management, climate adaptation, and infrastructure resilience in the region.
