Summary

Built in 1935, this Earth dam stands at 26 feet high and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet, providing a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet. The reservoir is situated on a tributary to the North Fork Provo River, serving as a vital water resource for the surrounding area.

Managed by the Utah Division of Water Rights, Marjorie Lake is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure its safety and efficiency. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, the reservoir continues to play a crucial role in water management and agricultural activities in Summit County, Utah. Although not rated for risk assessment or emergency preparedness, Marjorie Lake remains a key asset for water supply and distribution in the region.

Overall, Marjorie Lake offers a glimpse into the historical water infrastructure of Utah, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of climate change. As a significant resource for irrigation and agricultural purposes, this reservoir underscores the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality and resilience in the face of evolving environmental 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. 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.
