Summary
The dam serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and flood risk reduction in the area. With a height of 41 feet and a storage capacity of 94 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating potential hazards.
This dam, situated on the TR-East Fork Wolf Creek, covers a drainage area of 0.37 square miles and has a surface area of 2.8 acres. While its hazard potential is rated as low, the condition assessment is currently not rated. Despite being relatively small in size, Weber Creek Subwatershed Site 5-4460 remains an important structure in the region's water management system. With state regulation, inspection, and enforcement in place, the dam ensures the safety and well-being of the surrounding community.
As a part of the larger water infrastructure network, this dam contributes to the overall resilience of the area against potential flooding events. With its moderate risk assessment and strategic location, Weber Creek Subwatershed Site 5-4460 serves as a key asset in the region's water resource and climate resilience efforts. By maintaining and monitoring this structure effectively, local authorities can continue to safeguard the community and the environment from water-related risks and challenges.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
