North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park dam
North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park
North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park is a flood risk reduction structure located in North Ogden, Utah, along Coldwater Creek. This earth dam, completed in 1986, stands at a structural height of 20 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction for the surrounding area. With a hydraulic height of 17 feet and a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the community from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its proper functioning and safety. With a significant hazard potential, the dam has an inspection frequency of every 2 years to assess its condition and maintenance needs. While the current condition assessment is not rated, the structure continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the area from potential flood risks.
Situated in Weber County, Utah, this dam is a key component in the local water resource management system, providing essential flood protection for the community. With its strategic location and design features, North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park stands as a testament to the importance of effective water infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of climate change and ensuring the resilience of our communities in the face of natural disasters.
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 North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park
Where does the data for North Ogden City Oak Lawn Park 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 Significant 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.
