Long Park (Daggett) dam
Long Park (Daggett)
Long Park in Daggett, Utah, is a privately owned irrigation dam designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. Completed in 1980, this Earth dam on Sheep Creek stands at 112 feet high with a hydraulic height of 106 feet and a length of 860 feet. It has a storage capacity of 16,658 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 13,700 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of irrigation for the surrounding area.
Located in the city of MANILLA-LUSCERNE VAL, Long Park plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, with a high hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment. The dam has a maximum discharge of 320 cubic feet per second and is inspected annually to ensure its safety and functionality. With its significant storage capacity and strategic location, Long Park serves as a vital infrastructure for water supply and management in Daggett County.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Long Park showcases the collaboration between federal and state agencies in overseeing its operation and maintenance. With its comprehensive regulatory framework and efficient irrigation system, this dam stands as a testament to sustainable water resource management practices in the face of changing climate patterns. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Long Park represents a noteworthy example of infrastructure designed to meet the water needs of both agricultural and environmental interests in the region.
Dam data reference
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 Long Park (Daggett)
Where does the data for Long Park (Daggett) 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 High 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.
