Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db dam
Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db
Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db is a crucial flood risk reduction structure located in Box Elder, Utah. Built in 1930, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, with a length of 780 feet. It serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Three Mile Creek, offering a storage capacity of 21 acre-feet and a drainage area of 5 square miles.
The dam is owned and regulated by the local government of Perry City and falls under the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights. With a high hazard potential and fair condition assessment, it undergoes regular inspections every two years to ensure its effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the area. Despite its age, Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the community from potential flooding events.
As an essential infrastructure in the region, Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db is a key component in the flood management system of Box Elder, Utah. With its strategic location and operational efficiency, this dam remains a critical asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts who are dedicated to preserving the safety and well-being of the surrounding area. Its continued maintenance and oversight by the local government and state regulatory agencies highlight the commitment to ensuring the resilience of the community in the face of potential flood threats.

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 Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db
Where does the data for Three Mile Creek (Perry City Fcd) Db 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.
