Hildale Carling Street Db dam
Hildale Carling Street Db
Hildale Carling Street Db is a privately owned dam located in Washington County, Utah, that serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 24.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 18 feet. With a storage capacity of 5.2 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood hazards in the region.
Despite not having a designated year of completion or a condition rating, Hildale Carling Street Db holds a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. With a spillway width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 132 cubic feet per second, this dam is equipped to handle significant water flow during flood events. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and functionality of this vital infrastructure.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the critical role that dams like Hildale Carling Street Db play in safeguarding communities from flood risks is essential. With its state-regulated status and presence in Congressional District 02, Utah, this dam serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts between private ownership and state agencies in managing and protecting water resources. Continued monitoring and investment in infrastructure resilience are key to ensuring the long-term effectiveness of dams like Hildale Carling Street Db in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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 Hildale Carling Street Db
Where does the data for Hildale Carling Street Db 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.
