Built in 1930 by the Bureau of Reclamation, Echo serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction, hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and recreation. The dam stands at a height of 158 feet and has a storage capacity of 73,940 acre-feet, making it a significant structure in the region.

The primary source of the dam is the Weber River, and its controlled spillway is 72 feet wide. With a hazard potential rated as high and a risk assessment indicating a very high risk level, Echo dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area. Despite its age, the dam has undergone modifications in 2015 to enhance its seismic and structural resilience, ensuring its continued effectiveness in protecting the surrounding communities and environment.

Managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, Echo dam's inspection frequency is set at one year, with the last inspection conducted in July 2020. While the condition assessment is not available, emergency action plans have been prepared and updated periodically.
