Zone Iii Storm Water Retention Pond dam
Zone Iii Storm Water Retention Pond
The Zone III Storm Water Retention Pond in West Jordan, Utah, is a private water resource structure managed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. This Earth type dam serves the purpose of retaining storm water and has a low hazard potential with a condition assessment labeled as "Not Available." While the exact specifications such as dam height, volume, and storage capacity are not provided, the pond is located in Tooele County and falls under Congressional District 02 of Utah.
Despite lacking detailed information on its design and construction, the Zone III Storm Water Retention Pond plays a crucial role in managing storm water in the area. With no state regulation or permitting required, this structure serves as an essential component of the local water management system. Although the exact year of completion and the last inspection date are unknown, the pond's maintenance and operation are overseen by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, ensuring its functionality for the community.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find the Zone III Storm Water Retention Pond an intriguing case study for private water management structures in Utah. While some details are missing, the pond's significance in mitigating storm water runoff and its low hazard potential make it a noteworthy feature in the region's water infrastructure. Its location, purpose, and ownership highlight the diverse landscape of water resource management efforts, showcasing the collaboration between private entities and federal agencies in safeguarding water resources.
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 Zone Iii Storm Water Retention Pond
Where does the data for Zone Iii Storm Water Retention Pond 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.
