Cobble Creek Dam (Morgan) dam
Cobble Creek Dam (Morgan)
Cobble Creek Dam in Morgan, Utah, is a privately owned structure designed by Ensign Engineering for irrigation purposes. Completed in 2016, this earth dam stands at a hydraulic height of 32 feet and a structural height of 38 feet, with a length of 345 feet. It has a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet, with normal storage at 40 acre-feet, serving the local area for agricultural water supply.
Maintained and regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Cobble Creek Dam is subject to state inspection, enforcement, and permitting. The dam has a high hazard potential but is currently rated as satisfactory in condition assessment as of February 2017. With a drainage area of 0.7 square miles and a maximum discharge of 19.5 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
Located in Mountain Green, the dam's strategic placement ensures efficient water distribution for irrigation purposes. With a spillway width of 50 feet and a robust stone core foundation, Cobble Creek Dam provides essential water storage and management capabilities while adhering to state regulatory guidelines. Its completion in 2016 signifies a commitment to sustainable water resource practices for the benefit of the local community.
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 Cobble Creek Dam (Morgan)
Where does the data for Cobble Creek Dam (Morgan) 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.
