Moon Lake Dam to Get Federal Support and Expansion
The Dry Gulch Irrigation company leads a Utah project in Duchesne county to build an earth filled Moon Lake dam with a 1120 foot span and 30 foot top width to store water for irrigation. The reservoir may reach 32600 acre feet, enlarging Moon Lake from 300 acres and serving areas near Altonah 50 miles northwest of Vernal. The plan includes a spillway capacity of 20000 second feet and aims to back water 56 feet deep, with ongoing federal reclamation review and potential increases in capacity as studies continue.
