Summary

Built in 1981, this earth dam structure stands at 7 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 6 feet, providing a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Crystal Lake is to support fish and wildlife habitats, making it a valuable resource for conservation efforts in the area.

Located along the Provo River in Summit County, Utah, Crystal Lake covers a surface area of 38 acres and has a low hazard potential with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Despite its modest size, the lake plays a crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem and maintaining biodiversity in the region. Owned by a private entity, Crystal Lake is subject to state regulation and inspection to ensure its continued safety and functionality for both wildlife and recreational purposes.

With its serene setting and vital role in supporting fish and wildlife, Crystal Lake serves as a tranquil oasis in the heart of Utah's natural landscape. As a well-maintained and regulated water resource, it represents a harmonious balance between human intervention and environmental conservation, making it a valuable asset for climate and water resource enthusiasts alike.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
