The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $67,680,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Wyoming Water Development Commission under the Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, or Replacement of Carey Act Dams program (CFDA 15.077). The objective of this 4-year agreement, with a period of performance from March 2025 to December 2029, is to perform engineering and construction activities to build a new roller-compacted concrete dam to replace the existing LaPrele Dam in Converse County, Wyoming. The new dam will be founded on bedrock and raised to the same maximum normal operating elevation as the deteriorated 1909-built slab and buttress dam, addressing structural safety concerns and improving water storage capabilities for downstream irrigation.
