Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond dam
Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond
Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond is a private water resource located in Garfield, Utah, under the jurisdiction of the Utah Division of Water Rights. With a significant hazard potential and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, this Earth-type dam stands at a structural height of 20 feet and spans a length of 1300 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 28 acre-feet and is subject to regular state inspection, regulation, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with water resource management protocols.
The dam, built for a primary purpose designated as "Other," serves as a vital water storage facility in the region, contributing to the overall water management infrastructure in Utah. Although details about the year of completion, maximum storage capacity, and specific dam volume are not provided, the structure's presence is crucial for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates monitoring and assessing the state's water conservation efforts. The dam's location, at 35,32S~4E SL, further highlights its significance in the water management landscape of Garfield County, Utah.
As a key asset in the water resource network, Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond warrants attention from water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its substantial contribution to the local water storage capacity. With a regulated status and regular inspections, the dam plays a vital role in ensuring the region's water security and resilience in the face of changing climate patterns and water availability challenges. Its existence underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for continued monitoring and maintenance of critical water infrastructure to support the community's water needs and environmental conservation efforts.

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 Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond
Where does the data for Garkane Energy- After Bay Pond 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.
