Van Tassell Land & Livestock Llc dam
Van Tassell Land & Livestock Llc
Van Tassell Land & Livestock LLC is a privately owned entity in Duchesne, Utah, that falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights. This earth dam, completed in 2002, stands at a structural height of 10 feet with a hydraulic height of 7 feet, providing a storage capacity of 15 acre-feet. With a significant hazard potential, this dam has a spillway width of 12 feet and is subject to inspections every 2 years to ensure its integrity.
Located in the Omaha District, the dam at Van Tassell Land & Livestock LLC serves a primary purpose classified as 'Other'. It is designed to support various water resource management activities in the area, although the specific purposes and operations associated with the dam are not detailed in the available data. Despite being labeled as 'Not Rated' for condition assessment, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans, although the last revision date and other related details are not provided.
In the realm of water resource and climate enthusiasts, Van Tassell Land & Livestock LLC presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned earth dam in Utah. With its unique characteristics and regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of water management, infrastructure development, and environmental stewardship in the region. Further exploration of the dam's history, operations, and risk management measures could provide valuable insights for those interested in sustainable water resource practices and climate resilience strategies.

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 Van Tassell Land & Livestock Llc
Where does the data for Van Tassell Land & Livestock Llc 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.
