R.N. Industries dam
R.N. Industries
R.N. Industries, Pond #1, located in Uintah, Utah, is a privately owned dam regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights. This earth dam stands at a structural height of 10 feet and has a storage capacity of 55.1 acre-feet, primarily used for tailings storage. The dam, with a length of 728 feet, has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Despite lacking certain details such as the year of completion and a full dam volume measurement, R.N. Industries, Pond #1 has been inspected every 5 years to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. It is situated within the jurisdiction of the state of Utah, under the oversight of the Utah Division of Water Rights, and falls under the responsibility of its private owner. This pond serves a vital purpose in water resource management and plays a role in maintaining the ecological balance in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, R.N. Industries, Pond #1 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam contributing to tailings storage in Utah. With its low hazard potential and consistent inspection schedule, this earth dam stands as a significant infrastructure in the region. Further research and monitoring of this pond could provide valuable insights into the intersection of water resource management, industrial activities, and environmental stewardship in the area.
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 R.N. Industries
Where does the data for R.N. Industries 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.
