Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 dam
Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2
Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 is a private irrigation dam located in Woodruff, Utah, serving its purpose since 1873. This earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 11 feet and a hydraulic height of 8 feet, with a length of 235 feet and a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Situated on the Lake Hollow stream in Rich County, Utah, this dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and permitting to maintain its functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is not rated, Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 has been inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in June 2017. Despite lacking an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and other risk management measures, the dam remains a vital component for irrigation in the area. The dam's location within the Omaha District and its association with the primary purpose of irrigation highlights its importance in sustaining agricultural activities in the region.
As a significant water resource infrastructure in Utah, Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural purposes. With its historical significance dating back to the 19th century, this dam symbolizes the longstanding relationship between water management and farming in the state. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the intricate details of this dam's design, purpose, and regulatory oversight in ensuring its continued operation for the benefit of the local community.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2
Where does the data for Farmland Reserve - Lake Hollow No. 2 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
