Summary

Built in 1966 for recreational purposes, this earth dam stands at 31 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a length of 373 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 385 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 257 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights and undergoes regular inspections, with a hazard potential classified as significant.

Labaron Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities in the area, while also serving as a water resource management structure. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it meets regulatory guidelines for state inspection and enforcement. Located in a picturesque setting, Labaron Dam is a significant feature along Labaron Creek, contributing to the overall landscape and water flow dynamics in the region.

With its rich history dating back to the mid-20th century, Labaron Dam continues to be a focal point for water enthusiasts and climate advocates. Its presence serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices and the integration of recreational facilities with environmental conservation efforts. As part of the Utah water infrastructure, Labaron Dam stands as a symbol of the delicate balance between human development and natural resource preservation in the face of changing climate patterns.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
