Ute Dam, located in Logan, New Mexico, is a state-regulated earth dam completed in 1963 for the primary purpose of water supply. The dam, standing at 132 feet high with a hydraulic height of 107 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 464,240 acre-feet and serves irrigation, recreation, and water supply purposes. Situated on the Canadian River, the dam boasts a spillway width of 840 feet and a drainage area of 10,550 square miles.
With a hazard potential classified as high but a satisfactory condition assessment, Ute Dam is inspected annually to ensure its structural integrity. The dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) was last revised in 2013, indicating preparedness in case of emergencies. Despite moderate risk assessment, the dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are yet to be fully detailed. Ute Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of effective monitoring and maintenance practices to ensure its continued safe operation for both water supply and recreational activities.
